- Reviewed by Former Student on October 08, 2008

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - CHHS is an overall great concept. However, the school is being run like a dictatorship and not a school. The principal always has the last word and I believe, should have some sort of checks and balances (who checks on her? who makes sure she's doing her job?) I believe that with a new principal, the oversight and overall leadership of the school would improve. This is not a Utopian educational setting; it is more like, once again, a dictatorial run educational playground. Get your stuff together CHHS. Shame on you...
