CMHS has been great at college preparation from a scholastic perspective but would love enhanced support in application, scholarship, and decision consideration.

I overall had a great time at CMHS, I was involved heavily in the music department so speaking from that side specifically I loved being apart of that community. Also the teachers I had were great and I love visiting them every day, The classes I took also were fun and I think I learned a lot that can really help me in future in college and life in general.

My best experiences were at sporting events, as I played soccer for the school team. The atmosphere and support was great and the stadium was very nice. My worst experiences were some of the classes and teachers, as some teachers did not suit how I learn material. I would like to see parts of the curriculum change in schools to better prepare students for college.
