Did you graduate from CHS in the last three to four years? CHS is looking for alumnae ambassadors who can share their CHS experience with prospective students and families. Whether it’s offering insight into student life, speaking about your transition beyond CHS, or answering questions at events, your voice will be invaluable. Sign-up to participate.
We’re excited to share a wonderful lineup of events for CHS alumnae.
These events are a chance to reconnect with fellow alumnae and interact with our community. Each event offers a welcoming space to share experiences, and create new memories together, so please save the date.
Info and registration for events will be sent out by email in advance.
