***Schedule Changes***
Reasons to go see your Counselor to request a schedule change:
Schedule changes that Counselors address during the first two weeks of each semester include:
Schedules that are missing periods/classes
Elective Changes that involve Band or Spanish Language Arts, Dual Language Math
Scheduling issues that are related to legitimate, documented health-related reason(s)
Other unique/exceptional circumstances related to things like IEPs.
Reasons NOT to request a schedule change:
We do not change schedules to switch a student’s teacher (Example: Can I have Mr. Bekken for Social Studies instead of Ms. McIntosh?)
We do not change schedules to reorder a student’s classes (Example: I really don’t want PE 1st period, can I have it 6th period instead?)
We do not change schedules to reorder a student’s electives (Example: Can I have Art 1st semester instead of 2nd semester?)
We do not change schedules to change a student’s lunch (Example: Can I switch to 1st lunch because the early batch of chicken burgers taste better than the ones in 2nd lunch?)
PLEASE (Seriously, we're begging you!) DO NOT ask for these types of changes---especially lunch---this is an opportunity for our kiddos to learn flexibility and to understand that secondary and college level schedules change. Also, lunches are tied to 4th period classes, so "switching lunch" isn't a simple change.

7th graders moving on to 8th grade for the 2025-2026 school year!
Forecasting for this group started April 14 in Advisory classes. See the 2025-2026 7th to 8th FORECASTING DAY SLIDES to learn about classes, fill out applications, and complete your elective course selections.
El pronóstico para este grupo comenzó el 14 de abril en las clases de asesoramiento. Consulte las diapositivas del séptimo y octavo día de pronóstico de 2025-2026 para obtener información sobre las clases, completar las solicitudes y seleccionar sus cursos electivos.
8th graders moving on to Century for the 2025-2026 school year!
Students received information in Advisory All About High School at the end of February.
Then, in 8th grade math classes, CHS counselors gave a presentation about the electives and how to us the course selection worksheet. Here is the CHS main info page .
Now, incoming Freshman are pretty much done. CHS builds their schedules. CHS will let families know what those will be as well as share other info over the summer. Ms. Fawk will be their counselor all 4 years unless the students are in AVID. AVID students will have Mr. Barry. Those counselors are currently the 12th grade counselors because they loop with the students, so the current 12th grade counselors pick up the new 9th graders. They have a lot of 12th grade responsibilities to complete before they can give their full attention to 9th graders, so you can expect communication from them to ramp up over the summer after the 12th graders have graduated.
