Class of 2021 Junior Presentation: What to know before you go!
This presentation was shared with our juniors on Friday, March 13, 2020. This PowerPoint is full of information for the up and coming seniors. Please contact your child's counselor if you have any questions about any of these topics. This material can be very overwhelming to 17 year old students; however, this is the time to prepare for your child's post high school life! Juniors were invited to schedule appointments with their counselor to discuss any post-high school concerns they may have.

Class of 2023: Freshman Presentation
On Thursday, October 24, seniors Emily Fitzgerald, Kate Griffith and Malynn Hannaford presented an "everything you need to know" seminar for our Class of 2023. In addition to providing a lot of important 'academic' information, these young ladies encouraged the freshman to "add color to their high school experience" by getting involved with clubs, drama, music and/or sports. A pdf version of the slide show was emailed to each freshman student. Students who would like additional information are encouraged to "request an appointment" with their counselor on the CM Appointment Center located on the CM homepage.
Having great options after CM depends on the time put into CM. We want all of our students to be set for the best opportunities life has to offer!

CMHS Activity Tracker
Mrs. Diveley, CMHS Registrar, created this handy brochure for students to keep track of their high school involvement. Taking the time to do so as you progress through high school will make the completion of college admission and scholarship applications much easier. For a printable copy of this tracker, please visit the link below. Students are also welcome to stop by the School Counseling Office to pick up a hard copy.

Class of 2020 Senior Conferences
Senior conferences are about to begin! We truly look forward to this time of the year when we get to visit with each one of our senior students.
In these conferences we discuss graduation status, remaining graduation requirements and the future plans of each student. We go over a senior checklist with each student and this list can be found below. This is a simple guide to the senior year. We hope this guide helps you assist your son/daughter with the transition from high school to the next step in his/her life.
Please encourage your son/daughter to check our school website. The scholarship page and upcoming opportunity page contain a great deal of relevant information.
As a reminder, we are also contacting seniors through their gmail accounts and through Remind 101. Please encourage your son/daughter to check his/her gmail account periodically and to sign up for our Remind 101 access.
