And that's a wrap! See you in the fall!

Each year, select colleges partner with CHS to honor students who exemplify excellence in academics, leadership, service, and character. Students are nominated by faculty, and award recipients are selected by a faculty committee based on their outstanding achievements and contributions to our school community.
In addition to this distinguished recognition, some award recipients may also be eligible for merit-based scholarships from the sponsoring colleges and universities. 🎉👏



Shashwat is one of just 627 semifinalists nationwide and one of only 18 students selected from New Jersey. Chosen from more than 6,500 graduating seniors, this prestigious recognition is among the highest honors awarded to high school students in the United States.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program celebrates excellence in academics, leadership, character, community involvement, the arts, and career and technical education.

Congratulations to Chatham High School senior Marcus Valenzuela on winning the NJSIAA Group 3 State Championship in the mile! Marcus crossed the finish line in an impressive 4:13.73 on Saturday at Northern Burlington Regional High School, earning the state title and capping off an outstanding performance.👏💙💛
