Canvas
Canvas is the learning management platform where teachers post assignments, grades, and information. Parents are invited to be an observer of their student’s account. New students will receive Canvas log-in information when they receive their school-issued MacBook.
Course Registration
Registration for new students is completed as a part of the enrollment process. Course registration for returning students is handled electronically with assistance from their counselors who will meet with each student early in the second semester. Some classes (Honors and AP) have prerequisites and may require testing and/or approval from current teachers. 2025-26 registration information may be found on the CCHS website under Counseling.
Class Schedule
The core courses meet every day of the school year. Freshmen are also required to take one semester each of Health, PE, and Philosophy. In addition, students will choose one elective, which will meet daily at the same time for one semester. Band is a full year class. Elective selections are made when students register to attend CCHS. Incoming freshmen and new students will receive their schedule of classes and list of teachers at Orientation in August.
MacBooks
Every student is issued a MacBook Air computer to use for the school year. Freshmen and new students will receive their MacBook during Orientation, along with a school-issued MacBook cover and charger. Covers MUST REMAIN ON the MacBook computers. Insurance on these computers is included in the technology surcharge rolled into tuition. Students must bring their school- issued computer every day. Students will be required to turn their computers in before summer 2026 due to lease terms.
Summer Reading
All grade levels are given suggested summer reading. Summer reading choices will be posted under the Community – Students section of the CCHS Website. Some AP courses will require summer reading and assignments.
School Supplies
CCHS does not have one general supply list. Each teacher will provide a list of supplies needed for their classes. Most CCHS math classes require TI-nspire CX calculator. The regular TI-nspire without the color screen is also approved. These calculators may be purchased from the Texas Instruments website, Amazon, Office Depot, or Staples.
