Over the next couple of weeks, students will meet with their guidance counselors to choose their classes for next year. I encourage you to talk with your son or daughter about their interests and ideas. Our course catalog can be found online under the "Guidance" tab of the City High website. City High School is proud to offer one of the most robust, rigorous, stimulating, fun educational programs in the state. Take advantage of our wonderful course offerings!
