Churchill High School

Hello, Churchill families and students.

We are so excited to have finished our first week back at school!  What a fast-paced week of meeting new friends, teachers, and staff.  It is so great to see everyone’s smiling faces in person and not on a computer.  This is going to be a great year!

Our staff is excited to be at CHS, welcome your students and teach them this year.   Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.
