Counselors' Corner
A college representative will meet in-person, or virtually where indicated, at CCHS with any Sophomore, Junior or Senior student that is interested. A counselor is also present.
- A college rep is the person who reads the application for admission so a face-to-face meeting will serve the student well.
- The student must print a screenshot of the SCOIR registration and have their teacher sign it as their pass.
- A student needs to remember that they are representing CCHS at these meetings so come with some good questions and your best behavior.
- The visits will be listed each Friday for the following week and a complete list is available on SCOIR.
- CCHS students are required to wear a mask while meeting with a college representative.

Mental Health Resources from the Counseling Department:
The past two years have been like no other and with this in mind the CCHS Counseling Department is working to provide information about community mental health resources and programs to our families. The information we pass along is no way an endorsement for any one program or organization. Rather, our goal is to connect the CCHS community with the community at large during what has and continues to be difficult on the mental and emotional health of many.
Discovery Place: Mental Health Mind Matters Exhibit: Website
The new special exhibition Mental Health: MIND MATTERS explores the stigma of mental illness while illustrating the facts—mental illness is common; it can happen to anyone, and it is treatable. Featuring hands-on activities and multimedia experiences, this exhibition explores the science behind our feelings and how we experience the world around us.
