Parents of Prospective Students

Collegiate High School is an exciting place to be for responsible, mature teens who are ready for the academic challenge of college-level courses without the time-consuming daily routines of the traditional high school.

Each semester, CHS hosts a Parent Information Session to help parents and students better understand the Collegiate High School educational environment and the application process. View the Presentation from the last CHS Parent Information Session:

Information for Parents

Collegiate High School strives to educate and involve parents in CHS activities.

CHS Parents become involved in their students' education in a various ways:

1. MONTHLY MEETINGS with topics designed to help parents help their students have successful college experiences. Topics of meetings range from College 101, which provides basic information on college entrance, registration, course numbers, etc., to university transfer and financial aid information. See the PTO meeting schedule below for monthly meeting dates.
2. PARENT VOLUNTEERS work in the CHS Office, helping the Administrative Assistant with a variety of clerical duties. Parents also plan the annual banquet and decorate the banquet hall.
3. FUNDRAISING activities are developed by parents in order to cover the costs of the annual Senior Banquet. All students are invited to this banquet free of charge. The cost of guest tickets depends upon the menu and the amount of funding raised. Excess funds have been used in the past to provide scholarships to CHS students.
