PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

To The Students and Parents of Cheshire High School:

The Administration, Faculty and Staff of the Cheshire High School learning community are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging experience for each of our students. As a result of our commitment to best teaching practices and high standards, we create the conditions for our students to achieve academic, personal, and social success.

Participation in sports and/or extracurricular activities are ways in which students can enhance their high school experience and improve academic achievement. We encourage all of our students to get actively involved in the life of our school community by joining one or more of our many clubs, organizations or teams. Should none of the established student activities relate to their personal needs or interests, we encourage students to speak to an administrator about creating new opportunities for student involvement.

Cheshire High School is a caring and giving community and enjoys an outstanding reputation for excellence in academics, the arts, and athletics. Our faculty and staff are both accomplished and dedicated; our students are enthusiastic, loyal and cooperative; and our parents and community are engaged in our school and supportive of our efforts.

We encourage students to take full advantage of the many exciting opportunities available to them at Cheshire High School and we wish everyone a very successful school year.

Dr. Mary Joscelyn-Gadd, Principal
Mrs. Kristin Pelz, Dr. Maureen Reed, Mr. Daniel Tartarelli, Assistant Principals
