Through Catalyst Maria’s partnership with Urban Alliance, two CMHS seniors were recently hired for yearlong internships! Seniors Jaquia and Jemarie are participants in the Urban Alliance Work Study Program, which provides high school seniors with an intensive, year-long experience combining paid, professional internships, job skills training, one-on-one mentoring, and ongoing post-program support.  Jaquia will be working at the Goodman Theater and Jemarie will be working at Chicago Urban League- congratulations to both scholars and many thanks to Mrs. Comiskey, the Post-Secondary team, and the entire CMHS community for their efforts on this incredible partnership!

This week, CMHS celebrated Homecoming Week 2019! Through the efforts of the entire CMHS team but with a special shout out to Ms. Dore, the school community celebrated with traditions such as decorating the halls blue/ orange/white, having themed dress down days, and holding a seminar door decorating competition! The Wolves took home victories in volleyball, soccer, and football this week, and over 70 scholars and staff packed the stands for the “white out” themed (pictured below) victory during the Homecoming football game vs. Tilden!  The week culminated Friday with an all-school pep rally, and scholars will enjoy a their dance on Friday night!
