Craig High School is Relocating - Expanding Opportunities and Experiences for CHS Students

July 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Craig High School students will enjoy a brand new high school location and an enhanced student experience when the next school year rolls around this September.  

“This is a very exciting time for the Craig School,” said Craig School Board President Christopher Coates. “The move to a new location for the Craig High School is part of our continuing effort to create the best educational experience for our students. We will be able to offer expanded programmatic opportunities; increased integration as students migrate from the Craig Middle School to Craig High School; and access to a fantastic facility—all part of an effort to better prepare our students for college and life.”

While the school’s location has changed what hasn’t changed is the individualized program, strategic approaches, and current assistive technologies used to maximize each student’s learning potential into achievement.

“This move allows Craig High School to continue to provide our individualized, strategy based program while additionally providing greater facility resources and more diverse course offerings,” shared Dr. Eric M. Caparulo, Head of the Craig School. “It provides our students with a more extensive collection of extra-curricular offerings as well as elective based courses. This move allows CHS to maintain the essence of a small independent school while expanding our program through greater resources and opportunities. All of this while furthering our mission of preparing our students for success after high school.  “
