I chose to come to the Collegiate HS because of the education possibilities... to finish two years of my long degree to become an electrical engineer... Everyone here is very welcoming and willing to help with anything.

The environment here is hand-down the greatest part of being a CHS student... It is one of the best decisions I've ever made because now I actually look forward to coming to school and my grades reflect that. Coming here has made me realize how important this time in my life really is.

The best decision I could have made was choosing to attend CHS. Before coming here I was considered an average student in above average classes and received average grades. I did not think there was a way to challenge myself academically until now. Some students do not have the pleasure of receiving both a high school diploma and an associate of arts degree. I chose to take advantage of this educational advancement and enhance my education. ...since the student body is small, there is little time for normal cliques. Also, the CHS culture is unusually different form a normal high school... the hallways are always filled with students that are rarely arguing and never pushing.

I love CHS because I get more out of my effort and I am treated like an adult... coming to Collegiate was a great decision. The teachers, students and environment are amazing! My favorite thing is that I feel as though I am responsible for my own education…

My favorite this about CHS is the amount of opportunity for students. Everyone has access to the teachers and works one on one with them it do not understand something. There is also other ways to get help through different tutors and academic success centers.

I wanted a different environment which Collegiate HS provides. Students here don't get lost in the crowd. Everyone is appreciated as an individual and can use their time here to get more done. I would tell prospective students first that it is hard work...but people are helpful, nice and interested in learning... and everyone has fun.

Coming to Collegiate was definitely a good decision simply because of the benefits and knowledge I gained that I would not have received at my old high school... you take college classes, therefore, as a high school student, I am experiencing the work of a college student. To achieve the best in these classes I needed to be more organized and responsible which will prepare me in the future to achieve my goals.

The school as a community is very open. I know everyone in my grade. You can always ask a teacher for help. My favorite part is having a flexible schedule. Even though I'm taking college courses, I still have time to do extracurriculars.

I chose to come to the Collegiate High School because at my old school it was not challenging and therefore it was difficult to grow as a student. The Collegiate High School is filled with many challenges that give you the opportunity to grow and develop as a student. Here I gain more experience and understanding of college expectations than at my previous school. The teachers here are willing to help and all of the students know each other so you don't feel left out. The Collegiate High School has a nice and relaxed environment that allows you to focus on whatever you need to.

Not only does the Collegiate High School better prepare me for the college environment and work load than a regular high school, but it helps me decide what exactly my future entails. If you've got a million paths you could go down like I did, the Collegiate High School will help you decide which of those paths is best for you.
