Conneaut High School will be hosting "Leap Into High School" 8th Grade Transition meetings on Thursday, February 29 from 4:00-7:00pm. Current 8th grade students and their families may sign up for 30-minute appointment times where they will have the opportunity to meet with a Conneaut High School teacher and learn about everything CHS has to offer. Topics discussed will include: course scheduling, planning for your future, activities and athletics available at CHS, and a day in the life of a CHS student. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what to expect in high school, and to make connections with a teacher who will then be a familiar face in the fall of 2024. If you are interested in attending, please sign up using the following link: https://forms.gle/Y1PYHQVyY3GWJyX98
