Each year, CHS honors a select group of students with college "Book Awards." College book awards are sponsored by select colleges for participating high schools and recognize juniors that have demonstrated some combination of academic achievement, leadership, service, and character.  Students are nominated, and a faculty committee determines the recipients. Some winners will be eligible for merit-based scholarships at the university that sponsors the award.

Dr. Doug Walker, CHS principal, said, “Congratulations to our Book Award recipients. This recognition reflects more than academic excellence; it honors your passion for learning, your intellectual curiosity, and the positive impact you make on our school community. Continue to seek knowledge, embrace new challenges, and pursue your goals with confidence. We are proud of all you have accomplished and look forward to all that lies ahead.”
