The Science and Technology Pathway/Focus provides a valuable academic and hands on opportunity for students to enrich their learning. Students are grouped into cohorts in the study of subjects with an emphasis on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) mindset. CHHS is proud to be the only high school in the city that offers this opportunity.
