Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Our CHS community honored this year's graduating class with a meaningful ceremony on Friday. As sixth graders crossed the school seal on their way to the stage, they said goodbye to their Kindergarten Learning Partners and embraced their faculty advisors. Each graduate shared a speech about their time at CHS before receiving their diploma and celebrating the occasion with friends and family.

We are so proud of our newest alumni!

Pre-K Hawks had a special lesson in STEAM today, thanks to Mr. Jairo!

After spending time planting and growing herbs and vegetables, students in Pre-K harvested fresh food from their garden this week. With facilities team member Mr. Jairo's help, students snacked on freshly made tortillas filled with veggies! Hawks loved learning about the life cycle of plants and different kinds of herbs.

Great work, Beginners!
