It’s designed to educate them on things that they may find in their child’s room, book bag, or car. April Updates The Advanced Placement registration will begin on April 23. Our school has received state and national recognition because of the numbers of students taking the exams and their success rate. We (guidance and administration) anticipate a decline in future years of the number of participants based on the success of our CCP program at CHS. Students enrolled in CCP will earn transcripted credit to any state school in Ohio. The AP scores will not be needed. The CCP credit will suffice. Students looking to attend private institutions and schools out of the state will continue to seek AP credit to earn admittance and higher scholarship status. We are pleased to announce two new courses coming to Chardon High School next fall. We are offering an Introduction to Business and a Business Ethics class both of which will be one semester each and will be dual enrollment. Students enrolled in these classes will receive credit from Lakeland Community College. Please contact the guidance department to register for these classes. Below is a description of each course: Introduction to Business Grades 11-12 or permission of instructor- 1.0 credit (This course will be dual enrollment, so students enrolled will receive college credit from Lakeland) This course provides an overview of the U.S. business world, focusing on the historical development of American business from the early years to the present. It includes major business functions: management, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, financial operations, and human resource management. It also focuses on business ethics, in theory and practice, in today’s highly competitive business environment.

They have challenged each other to tweet out a Thank You and include their twitter accounts. I am attempting to tag the Dept. of Ed with the hashtag #apweek. Feel free to join us and say thanks to Mr. Murray and Mr. Linn @chs_dmurray @chs_blinn We will end the week like all good educators with a cake in the main office!! Congratulations to our 5th Place Science Olympiad Team. Their efforts are truly appreciated. Majority of the teams we compete against offer Science Olympiad as a course at their high school. Students at those schools are required to take the course to compete. This allows them the time in school to practice and review. Our students have committed to work after school with volunteers. These volunteers come home from work and go right to working with our children. They often have to beg for funds and find places to practice and work on their project. Congratulations! Furthermore, congratulations to Chardon High School’s Dance Team! They earned 1st place in the Champion Cheer Central competiton. Chardon Library Book Buddies Reading skills are important and your help is needed to encourage Chardon’s youngest students to keep reading over the summer.
