Chambersburg Area Senior High is a public school located in south central Pennsylvania. It is a very diverse school, that offers a variety of courses, opportunities, clubs, activities, and sports. It is a very large school with nearly 400 kids in each graduating class. The school and sports facilities are very nice and the teachers are very caring and supportive!
I have really enjoyed my experience at CASHS. There are many classes and activities in which you can participate in, it's all about taking an advantage of them. College Readiness is heavily stressed on but I believe that students, that are interested in going to college, need to be more forced to explore. The Music and Arts program at CASHS is heavily supported by the administration and that clearly shows when they go out to represent their school. Not all schools can say they have that support for the arts. My only complaint is parent involvement. They just are not enough parents involved with their students life and it clearly shows. For many kids school is an escape from their parents and it is easy to tell who those kids are. There is nothing the school or district can do about it, but it is up to the parents. The amount of resources this school can provide is very rare and while there are certain flaws, it does not take too many to fix them.
Overall, Chambersburg Area Senior High School provides students with tools to succeed. Many of the teachers in higher-level classes, such as the AP and IB programs, will offer to stay after school to help students that struggle. However, on the other hand, many of the teachers of the lower-level classes do not put in the extra effort to help their students succeed. Beyond the academics of the school, the school offers many diverse clubs and after-school activities to join, but I believe that our principles and advisers care too much about the success of our football team above all else, which can be seen by the incessant spending for new jerseys, uniforms, and a new field.
