Counseling Goals & Updates
If you are hoping to join our Chandler Wolf Pack but are not within our boundaries, please be sure to fill out an open enrollment application.
Question about classes? Please see our Academic Guide.
Our CHS counseling team have many goals this year. A goal that stands out among these goals to support students and staff is to focus on keeping students in class. With the pandemic and other life impacts, students have missed a lot of instruction time. It's important that we support our campus by keeping students in class for as much direct instruction as possible. Additionally, we would like to focus on increasing targeted interventions throughout the school day. All that being said, students can still access their school counselor before school, after school, or during their lunch hour. If a student is visibly upset or you feel there may be an immediate need, please send them down with a pass and let Margie know they're coming.

Social Worker
Hi! I am Angelica Neal, the school social worker! I have over 8 years working with students in CUSD. It is exciting to be at Chandler High to assist with any social emotional needs or provide resources for our students and families.
One of the resources I have at the ready is the Chandler High School Care Closet for small homegoods and hygiene items.
Also the holidays are coming, do you need any assistance? Well let me connect you with a community partner who is adopting families and providing food boxes.

For example, Monday was a Day of Balance - wear you PJ day. The week ended with cake for everyone on Friday during all 3 lunches. Everyone had a great time!
IB and AP testing starts on May 1 and goes through May 19. If your son or daughter is testing, be sure that they get plenty of sleep and eat a well balanced meal before testing. They have all worked hard in their respective honors class and are well prepared to do well on the exams. Good luck students!
