• The Medical Science Magnet program gives students interested in medical science careers and early pathway to learning about the field.

• We are proud of our learning communities where students and faculty create stronger relationships, more mentoring occurs, and academics excel.

• The Career Technology labs are places where hands-on, project based learning is taking place. Students who are not inspired by the traditional classroom often shine in these environments.

• Project based learning is how the working world works, working in teams on assignments and then presenting your work to a group. Each lab has several working areas, which challenges the students and develops cognitive skills, social skills, and academic skills all of which contribute to a culture of lifelong learning.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Charles R. Drew High School! We are excited to have everyone back in the building and look forward to a great and productive year. Here are some reminders and information:

• Classes begin at 8:20am and end at 3:20pm

• Student drop off is in the main parking lot in front of the building. The stadium parking lot is for student parking and buses only. Please do no drop students off in the stadium parking lot.

• Students may only bring clear backpacks to school. This is county board policy.

• Students need to know their 4-digit bus route number, not the bus number. Bus numbers may change if there is a substitute bus but the route number will remain the same.

• Please make sure that your student brings a charged Chromebook to school each day. 

• Please communicate with your student's teacher(s) about questions or problems

We have been asked about school supplies, so here is a general list. This is not all that your student may need but it is a good starting place. 

• Loose Leaf Paper (college ruled)

• Notebooks (college ruled)

• Binder 

• Storage device (external hard drive, flash drive, etc)

• Pencils & pens

Important: Please make sure that your student has his/ her Chromebook if they attended CDHS last year. They should bring a Chromebook, charger, and clear bookbag to school daily.
