CCHS Students and Families:

As we approach the end of the first semester, I want to remind everyone that semester exams are right around the corner. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned and to finish the semester strong. I encourage all students to prepare thoughtfully, manage their time well, and put forth their very best effort.

Please remember that we will follow the posted exam schedule, and exams will not be given early. This ensures fairness and consistency for all students. Additionally, students cannot leave and return to school during the school day without a medical appointment. If you have questions about the schedule or need support in preparing, please reach out to your teachers. Exam schedules can be found HERE.

Thank you for your continued hard work and commitment to academic success.

Go Comets!
Mr. Steve Fairs
Principal
