Secondary Academics

Our secondary comprises 9th-12th grades at CBS. Each grade level has suggested courses that serve to logically advance the student each year. Course offerings listed are subject to change, and availability is determined by the number of students signed up for the class and the time it is offered. Our guidance counselor is available to speak with students about transcripts, credit requirements, and course selections. Dual Enrollment opportunities are also available for senior high students.
