Even though serious budget cuts are being implemented, we will continue to strive for excellence in education. During the 1996-97 year, CCHS had an average class size of 27 and an average teaching load of 135 students per teacher. In a comprehensive high school, it is necessary to continue to offer classes even though there may be a low enrollment. These classes must then be balanced by higher than average classes in other areas. The teaching staff is well qualified in terms of preparation and experience.
Many teachers have masters degrees and a few have doctorates.
All teachers are assigned to teach within their credentialed subject areas. The size and complexity of a school district influences salary level. Included are ethnic appreciation clubs, service clubs, academic specialty clubs, and class councils. Student may participate in programs such as Speech and Debate and the school literary magazine. We also have a full slate of interscholastic sports.
