School Safety
School safety is always on our minds and is our top priority. Thank you for partnering with CPHS to keep our students safe. If you have information or concerns about student safety, please contact us via phone/email or make a report using the link below.
Safe schools anonymous tip line - If you see or hear something, say something.
Safety Reminders for Students
Students should report to a teacher, counselor, administrator, or any adult in the building if there is a safety concern. It is always better to overreport and be on the safe side.
During school hours (7:00 a.m. to 2:37 p.m.) hats and hoods are not allowed to be worn in our building. This is so that all students can be identified. This is also a part of the CPHS dress code.
Student drivers must remain cautious in the parking lot and near the school. Please remind students to drive slowly and follow the directions of our police officers. All student drivers must have a parking pass displayed in their vehicle while in the CPHS lot.

Biomedical ScienceStudents in Mrs. Cosme's Biomedical Science class tested out their biomedical prototype on Crown Point Rotary Club members. Students investigated the evolution of various biomedical products, brainstormed ideas for a new biomedical product or a way to to improve an existing product, and evaluated solutions of the past and present. Students explored possible design solutions, selected the best approach, and developed a design proposal. Finally students showcased their designs with a model, prototype, or schematic and created a marketing plan to pitch their product to "potential investors." CP - Connected Pursuits | Engineering Design and DevelopmentMr. Rettig's Engineering Design and Development students (4th level) are working on a package/box design and build.
