A Fresh Start

Ninth grade is a time for exploration, so it's important to do just that. Join clubs, athletic teams and get involved in other school activities. Volunteer! How else will you know what you're good at or what you enjoy if you don't try new things? For complete lists of clubs and sports at CHS, look under the Athletics and Activities tabs on the CHS website.

It's also important to make sure you get off to a strong start in all your courses. Students who have to repeat classes close off their options and choices down the road. Keep your grades up! You are beginning to compile a record that is called a transcript. A transcript is a record of all classes that you attempt in high school. The final grade is recorded on the transcript and a grade point average is calculated based on your performance in each class. This will begin your academic record that will be forwarded to colleges as you apply during your senior year!

During the ninth grade year, freshmen will work with our school counselors to explore career interests using GA Futures and Georgia Career Information System.
