The Society for Science & the Public and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are proud to share that three students have been named a top 300 scholar out of more than 1,700 students in the Regeneron Science Talent Search. The selection as scholars is a great honor, and signifies the talent and promise in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Having three students is unprecedented and all three of our students who entered the Regeneron STS are semifinalists!
Congratulations to:

Kevin Huang, “Performing Joint Measurements on Electron Spin Qubits by Measuring Current Through a Nearby Conductance Channel.”

 

Tingyu Li, “Nanoparticle Encapsulated Glutaminase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.”

 

Neil Rabb,  “Use of a Novel Human Enteroid Model System Identifies Specific Genes that Distinguish Obese from Lean Subjects.”

 

Claire Lee has been selected as a recipient of a Comcast Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship Program award in the amount of $1,000

 

One of our former CHS students, Caitlin Cleveland, is currently teaching at Lycée Fragonard in L’Isle-Adam just outside of Paris.  Her students wrote to our Level 3, 4 and 5 French students in English, while our students wrote back in French.  Many of them have already connected via social media and our hope is to send another round of letters very soon.  A great cultural experience and lots of fun!

Tuesday, January 10th from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm in the Auditorium we are having our 9th Grade Midterm Mastery Information Review Session & Course Scheduling Information Night for 9th grade students and parents. This is not a time to speak with teachers. They are just presenting information to help support you and your child be successful on mid terms.

9th Grade Mid Term Review sessions:

Midterm Review Resources

Midterm review sheets are now online. We are continually updating this page as we receive more review packets from teachers. To see what is currently available, go to: http://chs.hcpss.org --> "Academics" --> "Academic Resources" --> scroll down to see Review Session Schedule and Review Packets.

We have an activity bus that will pick students up at 3:45 from January 17th through January 19th, but you need to sign up on Sign Up Genius.

 

“Midterm Review Sheets cannot be accessed with a personal gmail account.  The student must sign-in with their school active directory (computer login) account.”

 

Midterms are the week of January 23rd-January 26th.

Exam schedule
January 23rd - Period 1
January 24th - Periods 2 and 3
January 25th - Periods 4A and 4B

Have a great weekend!
