Football Game

Programming Students win Pizza Party
Students in our programming class won a pizza party because they were able to answer a collegiate level programming problem. Using multiple loops and decisions, students solved a mathematical problem using Microsoft Powershell. Students who take this corse learn about logic, algebra, and decision making to create computer programs.

College Visits:
CCHS will post all college visits to the school calendar on the website. Email will also be used to inform you and your student about up-coming guidance events. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
ACT and SAT test scores will no longer appear on a student's transcript from CCHS. Today, colleges prefer test scores to come directly from the testing organization rather than the high school.Please remember that when registering for the ACT and SAT, students have the option to select up to four colleges to receive their score for no additional fee; we encourage students to take advantage of this option. Students may also send their scores AFTER they have taken the test by contacting ACT or the College Board (SAT) directly; however, a fee will be assessed. Please contact the Guidance Office should you have any questions about this new policy.
NCAA Eligibility Requirements
The initial-eligibility standards for high school student-athletes who want to participate in NCAA Division I and II sports are changing. If student-athletes don't take the required courses or get the required grades in high school, they won't be able to make it off the bench in college. To be sure you have all the facts, visit the following NCAA website:
www.2point3.org
If your student wishes to play Division I sports, he/she should have his ACT or SAT scores sent directly to the NCAA Clearinghouse by indicating code "9999" on the list of score recipients when he/she registers for the exam. The NCAA will not accept scores sent by CCHS.
Guidance Office Contacts:
Donna Niggemyer (304) 233-1660 x 309 Guidance
Sharon Malin (304) 233-1660 x 307 College Placement / Registrar
