Communications has given me a place to learn, socialize, and prepare for my future. I have grown so much as an individual and as a student since coming here in my freshman year, and it has allowed to me truly find myself which might not have been possible at my home school. I will not regret going here.

CHS is one of the most warm and inviting schools in all of Monmouth County. Not only is there an amazing atmosphere, but amazing academics. The teachers are all incredible and very flexible with student needs. I've always felt comfortable going to a teacher for extra help, or just to talk in between classes.

Academically, this is an amazing school. Every class is taught at an honors level except for the 1 or 2 AP classes that are offered. If AP classes are what you're looking for, this isn't the school for you. There is a significant amount of stress being placed on you at any given moment that is cause...
