What is CHS Roams?

CHS Roams is an opportunity to do schooling differently. It’s a one semester outdoor education academy where 10th grade students develop essential skills for life while studying and receiving credit for the following courses: ELA10, Social Studies 10, Outdoor Education, PE, CALM, Photography, and Leadership (If taken in J-Block). This cohort of students, and their teacher Mr. Talen, will be together every day for semester 1 - much of this time will be spent outside!
