The program is unique in that it is located in a college campus and offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn their associate degree or MCSE/CNE certification (for IT students) at the same time as their high school diploma, with course registration and textbooks provided completely free of charge.

Admittance

Admittance to CHS is based on a lottery of sorts. Potential candidates for the program are screened toward the end of their sophomore year to verify that they have an unweighted 3.2 GPA for the AA or a 2.5 GPA for either the IT or Allied Health programs. They must also have a minimum of eleven high school credits and be on track for graduation. Then, they are mailed an invitation to an information session and are given registration packets. There is then a random drawing from the registered students to choose the ones who will attend the following school year.

gollark: Okay, so just tens of years.
gollark: Intergalactic beams would take hundreds of thousands of years to arrive.
gollark: LyricTech™ doesn't actually have a way to check all of Earth ever for interesting things.
gollark: Against what?
gollark: Similarly, knowledge of headquarter relocation does !NOT! imply knowledge of where it's going to/from.
