While attending Chambersburg Area Career Magnet School, I was able to develop one on one bonds with my teachers and administrators. The course selection consists mainly of honors classes and AP classes. Although the classes offered are of higher levels, there are very limited options for students to take. Only one art class is given and, when I was interested, only Spanish classes 1 and 2 were provided. After completing both classes I wanted to move on to Spanish 3, but it wasn’t offered. There’s a lot of club opportunities and I was elected into the Student School Board, providing me with leadership skills. CMS is more of a technology based and hands on high school. We used ipads for our education and everything we needed was always at our fingertips. Since it is a mildly selective magnet school, the learning environment consisted of students like me who cared about their education, making the school years easier and less distracting. My school highly stressed career opportunity.
My experience at my school was amazing! I exchanged from the Chambersburg Senior High School to the Magnet School. The
environment was very welcoming. The teachers were very nice as well as the classmates. It was quite a change because the school is technology oriented and the school I transferred from wasnt. They taught me what I needed to know to be successful. It overall was a great experience.

I had a great time at the Chambersburg Area Career Magnet school! The teachers there care significantly about their students and the material they are teaching. Attending the school, you get a sense of community
