About CHS

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

 People are invested at Cheshire High School.

 It is evident in the way students approach their learning, the way teachers support their classrooms, the way families partner with the school, and the way our community celebrates and invests in the success of every student.

 The result is a school where learning extends beyond earning credits or preparing for graduation. Students discover new interests, develop lasting friendships, assume leadership roles, and find opportunities to contribute in ways that matter. They are encouraged to ask questions, solve meaningful problems, engage in complex thinking, collaborate with others, and take pride in work that reflects their best thinking.

 That same spirit shapes the adults who make up our school community. Teachers, counselors, support staff, coaches, advisors, and administrators work together to create an environment where students are known, challenged, and supported. Families and community partners strengthen that work through their involvement, encouragement, and shared commitment to our students’ success.

 The Cheshire High School experience is defined not only by strong academics, outstanding arts programs, competitive athletics, and a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, but by the people who bring those opportunities to life. 

 Whether you are joining Cheshire High School for the first time or have been part of this community for many years, we are proud of what we accomplish together and excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.
