In order to participate in Graduation and Class Day a student must:
successfully complete all course requirements;
earn a total of at least 24 credits;
take responsibility for all deficiencies;
complete 20 hours of community service;
follow all protocol in the graduation/marching contract.
CHS offers an early graduation option for high school students who qualify. See your guidance counselor for more information. Students must meet with the principal by the second semester of their sophomore year or first quarter of their junior year to apply for approval.
We expect all students to put forth their best effort. A student may be retained if:
(1) The social and emotional maturity falls before where it should be for his/her chronological age and/or
(2) The school can demonstrate that academic deficiencies exist.
In the spring of each year, the teachers and principal shall work together to prepare recommendations regarding promotion and retention of all students in seventh and eighth grade. The recommendations may include:
(1) Promotion to the next grade, or
(2) Retention at the present grade.
One criterion for determining if students in grades seven and eight should be promoted would be if the child has successfully passed, at a minimum, three out of four of the major subjects (math, language arts, science and social studies) for the year. Parents may request a meeting with the principal prior to the final promotion decision. Any student retained or socially promoted students in grade 8 cannot participate in promotional activities.
