Academic Support

Structured Study Hall

The Structured Study Hall Program is designed to assist students who may struggle academically so that they will have the study skills necessary to be successful at CHS and in college.
– The Entrance Exam will help us determine which students will need SSH the most.
– Parents should provide copies of any information (psychoeducational testing, etc.) that would help us understand and assist the student in case of particular learning differences.
– Students will be selected for SSH by greatest academic need.
