There are several different Assistants here at CHS. Each Assistant has unique responsibilities in accordance with the Office or Class that they assist. This provides a great opportunity to increase your PR skills, learn valuable administrative skills, and exposes you to another side of school. Beyond getting a unique experience with teachers and/or office staff, when students pursue employment for the future, they often receive great recommendation letters from our staff. Below are the different Assistant Categories.
