The Holiday Stretch

"The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on our blessings and seek out ways to make life better for those around us."



Happy Holidays! In the guidance department, we strive to make the quote above how we work all year long!  The hustle and bustle of the stretch of holidays from Halloween to New Year's Day is well under way. With crazy sales, family gatherings, and holiday parties, we know time is your most precious resource right now.  And if it is yours, it must be your children's too!

Life in CHS Guidance is just as busy! With the regular decision deadlines approaching, we are diligently giving essay revisions, recommendation writing, and finalizing college lists! With first term grades released before the Thanksgiving holiday, we are busy catching up with freshmen to see what they think of their academic progress thus far. College Board releases the PSAT results in two weeks; there is so much going on!

We also host multiple events in the month of December.  Please reach out to your child's counselor with any questions.  An email was sent today about our event on the 8th!

Thursday, December 8th: 6 pm - 8 pm Post-secondary Pathways Night: Mini-Fair with Alternative Plans to Colleges and a College Admissions Night: Open to 10th, 11th, and 12th Grade Families. There is something for EVERYONE! Students and parents encouraged to attend together.
Friday, December 16th: 7:45 am: Coffee with Counselors: Understanding Your PSAT Scores
