Students and Parents, The information on the following pages is very important for your future. Please review it carefully. We at CPHS have taken great care to create course selections that will meet all of our students’ needs. Our job is to prepare you and your classmates for whatever challenges that you choose after graduation, and we take that job very seriously. Please take the enrollment process seriously as well. Choosing courses to fulfill high school diploma requirements and to prepare for college, the military or workplace is an important decision. I encourage you to consult with your counselors, your families, and your peers as you proceed with enrollment. Arts programming, extra-curricular courses, and career preparation classes are all at your disposal. Such courses play a significant supporting role to our academic classes. Our English, social studies, math, and science courses will prepare you well for upcoming state-mandated tests and upcoming post-secondary and college entrance tests. Most importantly, challenge yourself! Avoid the temptation to take the easiest path possible. The world that you will enter after graduation is highly competitive, and I want only the best for you after graduation. Choose your courses carefully with an exciting and fulfilling future in mind. Dream big, because no matter where you are going in life, you can get there from Charles Page High School! Plan well to achieve, Mr. Stan Trout, CPHS Principal
