We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Christopher High is a good school with a lot of student and staff involvement. From cheering on our teams, building class floats, to class competitions. Christopher is an all around good school with great variety's of extracurriculars.
