I feel that CHS is a wonderful school. The teachers there really care about their students and try to help them succeed. As an Alumni i can attest that many of us come back not only to visit for home coming but to also give back to our school and community. CHS has great AP classes, and EXCEPTIONAL extracurricular program (go gang green!!!). For the negative posters below, by the time you get to high school you shouldn't have to be spoon feed and told how to talk and what to do. that is a choice that you consciously make. It is not the job of a HIGH SCHOOL teacher to hold your child's hand and tell them what to do. any 14-18 is more than capable of doing their work and following directions. Teachers can only teach if you are willing to open your mind and listen.
CHS fosters a positive environment academically and socially. The variety of electives and availability of AP courses are unmatched. I took 9 AP classes and countless electives with incredibly dedicated teachers who showed a passion for their subject and a love for their students. Likewise, extra-curricular activities abound, ranging from athletic teams to service organizations to honor societies to special interest groups. Each student has an opportunity to get involved with extra-curriculars that correspond to his/her interests. This, along with the rich traditions, cultivates an environment and school spirit that is unique to CHS. Alumni return not only for the typical homecoming festivities, but just to visit their esteemed teachers. Hearing about other people s high school experiences has shown me how fortunate I was to attend Cary. I love my school--the teachers, the students, the traditions, and plan to return as a teacher upon graduating from college.
CHS is a disorganized school where students 'slip through the cracks' because the administration just does not care. Students and parents are treated rudely by office personnel. Teachers have no power to change the system. Bright students basically teach themselves.
The classes and electives are excellent, however sometimes the time spent on homework per day exceeds the time spent in school per day. My child spends aprox 30 hours per week on homework.
