So I went here before so I can do wrestling and when I did wrestling the coach was very disrespectful and has done threats to me. One of the coach was so rude that if you do the smallest mistake he will either yell at you so loud or curse at you. Run away from this school if you are going to do wrestling.

The school faces challenges in the fact that a good portion of their student body is only there for only one year. Many of those students are military dependents who will more often than not have to navigate 2-3 high schools in as many different states. There seems to be a distrust in the quality of education received at other schools, fearing that the incoming students may not be able to handle the academic load. This is the 3rd high school for our family and we had expected more from a school with a lot of experience with military dependents. This does not appear to be the case across the board. It seems that a strong preference is given to those students who will be at the school for several years. Again, this is understandable but unfair to those students who have to live it and feel like they really don't quite belong despite making many efforts to get involved in activities or in the classroom. Our experience with sports teams has been very different. The teams have been inclusive and provided great coaching and team spirit.

My oldest son completed 9th grade at CHS. We found the academics to be challenging for him and the teachers and staff engaged with the students. The school offered a variety of academic programs to include honors and AP curriculum. There is also a diverse program of extra curricular activities and sports programs with excellent mentors and coaches.
