Teacher of the Year and Yearbooks!

Rattler Nation!

We want to congratulate Mr. Snedden above. He's going to be very embarrassed I made him the cover. He is a phenomenal teacher and child advocate. He teaches AP US History and AP English Literature however he makes it clear he can teach anything we ask! The students love him. I worked with him many years ago and was determined to bring him to the school as he lives right here in Tierrasanta. The teachers nominate and selects this person and they did a great job and it is well deserved.

California Healthy Kids Survey for Parents!--PLEASE fill this out!

Parents and Guardians of the Class of 2023 (11th) and 2025 (9th):

Every year, we ask our 9th and 11th graders students to complete the parent survey for the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). Your feedback will provide us with valuable information about how we are serving your student in several areas: social/emotional, academic, safety, community and culture, among a few others. We utilize your feedback when we plan for each school year and consider your parent voice very important. Will you please take a few minutes to fill this out for us? We appreciate your time and input so that we can make CHHS the best it can be! Our 9th and 11th-grade students will also be taking the survey in their Science classes next month.

Summer School:

CHHS understands that the last few years have been hard. We also understand that your child may not have done as well as they should have, and we know that. CHHS asked the Board to consider adding CHHS to the summer school list, and they agreed. Usually, we switch off years with Henry High. We will be having summer school and the time to register is now.

PEER TUTORING for the Class of 2025--but everyone is welcome!

SENIORS

Do you have a Senior? Well, CHHS has a Booster Club so you can stay up to date on things and events about them:

The Canyon Hills/Serra Parent Class Boosters is a parent organization that supports your student's graduating class with activities and events not typically sponsored by the school. As your student approaches senior year, through fundraising and donations, this group helps offset the cost and implement activities like grad-night, prom, senior luncheon, graduation venue, powder-puff, and more.

SENIORS
