A note from principal cline
Dear Charger Families,
The ACT Test is required of all juniors and the make-up dates are April 8th, April 15th and April 16th. If you missed the first administration, you have been contacted by Ms. Anderson with the make-up information. Completing in-person tests, such as the ACT is required for continuance in the CMVHS magnet program. Please make plans to attend one of the make-up sessions if you missed the original administration.
We are excited to have a team in place that is working on our social media to keep you informed. Please follow us on the following platforms:
