All students should be challenged to read literature that extends their vision and understanding of the world.  More than any other single factor, reading influences student success in writing, with critical thinking, and on the SAT test; therefore, students need to read widely and at a challenging level. 

Reading in the CHS classroom is, at times, directed and focused on building specific skills.  At other times, reading is independent.  Reading for pleasure, as well as reading to learn, is emphasized during the school year as well as in our summer reading program.

The English Department offers a diverse variety of electives which allow a student to focus on a particular craft or to address the attainment of a particular skill or goal.
