The STARTALK Camp at UAB, themed “Exploring Chinese Through Technology and Modern Society,” is structured into two levels: level one for beginners with no prior Chinese knowledge and level two for those who completed level one in 2024, ready to delve deeper into new themes. This program is free, covering meals and snacks throughout the residential summer camp, which spans 7 days with a total of 63 hours of learning on-site. Participants start with 30 hours of online synchronous learning pre-camp, proceed to the 7-day residential camp at UAB for hands-on learning, and conclude with another 30 hours of online learning post-camp.


Open to 30 students in grades 9-14, including 20 high school and 10 college students, with a priority given to residents of Alabama. Furthermore, 11th and 12th graders who complete the program have the option to earn 3 college credits. 13th and 14th graders can also gain 3 credits, with 1.5 of these offered for free, providing an additional incentive and benefit for participation in this enriching language and cultural immersion program.

Older, but still important information [like bus information & attendance information] is located towards after the sports section - please scroll to see.


The most current helpful information is located in this section so that it is easily identifiable.

Our AP Biology class is working with the Ryan Lab at Towson University in Baltimore, MD to better understand salinity tolerances of a few species of anemones. These tiny animals live in an area where the ocean meets rivers or estuaries, so the amount of salt in the water can change a lot, even during a single day. To identify the anemones’ salt limits, the students set up four tanks with four different salt concentrations. They will watch the anemones’ behavior over the next six weeks to determine how well they tolerate the conditions. The data CCHS students collect will be shared with the Ryan Lab so we can analyze the data together.
