It is a very fun school to attend, the community you build here is great since it is a smaller school. It is almost like you know everyone and are friends with everyone.

Amazing teachers, great classes and students. Highly recommended. I started at CCHS as a Freshman and have enjoyed my time there. Playing sports and joining clubs is the best way to make new friends. I highly suggest participating in a sport you've never tried before, it's a great way to test your abilities, be a part of a great team.
