Christopher High School makes you feel a part of something. Whether that is an exciting club or an interactive sport, you feel a sense of home. Even though Christopher High may not also feel like the safest place at times, the community is strong. There is a place for everyone at CHS. Once a cougar, always a cougar.

I have a MIXED review for this school. It's a beautiful school on the outside in a beautiful neighborhood. The swimming pool looks more like a kiddie pool than a high school pool. They shortchanged the students in this area. They have NO lockers for the students. The average students carry back pack...
