“We chose City High for our kids and have never had a moment of regret. The bonds they formed while there, especially with staff, have continued even after their time at City High is through. They’ve received an excellent education and real-world experience that has prepared them for life after high school. City High took the lead during the pandemic, going above and beyond to keep our kids safe and to keep us informed, as compared to many other school districts in the region." --City High parent of 2020-2021Discover what we've known all along—technology is essential to learning.
