Summer Study & Required Reading
Incoming 9th graders will be expected to complete a summer study project that connects their summer experiences to the CHARIHO 10 - the ten expectations that define our graduation portfolio. Returning students (grades 10-12) will complete a grade-specific assignment to help define, refine and target their post-high school goals.
We are enlisting your support in helping your child identify their academic strengths, career interests, and overall experiences that will reveal how their aptitudes compliment the world of work, pathways to rewarding careers, and resources for presenting their abilities and experiences to prospective organizations, institutions, and employers. We understand that summer is a busy time, and we are conscious of the many demands on students' and parents' time. However, we believe that, in an increasingly competitive world, it is our responsibility to provide students with opportunities to enhance and advance their college and career readiness. With that in mind, we will provide students with an opportunity to complete and deliver their presentation in advisory by the end of September. Below is a link to the Summer Study website; you can also find this link on the CHS webpage. The site is rich is resources that support each grade-level summer study assignment. We also want students to engage in summer reading and by doing so, students can submit a product that fulfills one of the graduation portfolio expectations. See the link below for additional information about required summer reading...
