High-achieving 9th and 10th graders:  the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) is an unparalleled opportunity for academic and personal growth, particularly for students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education.  There will be a representative from NCSSM at CHS today to meet with interested students during lunch in the bandroom. You apply during your 10th grade year, but we invite 9th graders to hear about the opportunity, too. See Mr. Harkey with any questions beforehand.

All students, especially seniors:  have you considered teaching as a career?  If you have any interest, you should attend an interest meeting this fall to hear from some of your CHS teachers who have gone through the NC Teaching Fellows program, which provides up to $8,250/yr in forgivable loans and unique training and enrichment opportunities.  Email Mr. Harkey - mharkey@chccs.k12.nc.us - to indicate your interest, and we will follow up about the interest meeting.

A representative from Brandeis University will visit Carrboro High School Friday, October 18th at 10:00am.  Sign up in the CIC to attend this visit.
