CHS encourages 11th grade students to attend the NACAC College Fair. MCPS and the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC) will hold an annual junior college fair on Wednesday, April 19th, beginning at 10:00 am. There will be over 300 colleges in attendance. A $5.00 fee is required to attend. The permission forms can be found here. Students are not permitted to drive themselves to the college fair. Parents/guardians who wish to attend the fair with their students should attend the evening session on April 18th. During the evening, there will be two workshops on Financing College and Simple Steps to Applying to College. Register here. Here is the information about the NACAC Fair.

The Montgomery County Vision Zero Youth Ambassador program would like to include CHS in a survey of transportation safety to and from school.

This survey is meant to gauge the safety of middle and high school students' routes to and from school and their awareness of road safety. Their goal is to provide recommendations to the county's transportation department to help make roads safer for our community. Students that participate in the survey also have the opportunity to be entered into a raffle to win one of four $25 Visa gift cards.
