The CHS Foundation was formed in 1985 and is a non-profit 501(C)-3 organization. A board of trustees governs the Foundation, which is comprised of community members, parents and administrative staff. Our primary mission is to raise and disburse funds for scholarships for graduating seniors.
Our purpose is to . . .

At this present time, we give away approximately 20 Scholarships per year. The main Scholarship Selection and Criteria considered are the following: Students individual desire to further their education, their Academic excellence, their Community service, their CHS involvement, their Outstanding achievement in a particular discipline, and their Financial need.
