A Note From The Principal Cougar Family, Happy February and we are excited to be in the second semester of the 2024-2025 school year! This third academic quarter brings new opportunities to refresh academic goals and re-establish good habits for a successful finish to the school year. Countryside High School is busy finishing out the winter sports season and moving into spring, featuring tons of fun activities and events for our students and community! It is truly a great time to be a Countryside Cougar! As we head towards spring, we also plan for the next school year and begin strategic conversations about our course offerings. Our school counselors are meeting with each student returning to CHS next year to create a personalized course schedule that challenges and engages them. We offer over 80 courses for student study and all course registration sheets can be found under Academics on our school website. CHS is proud to offer a full slate of Advanced Placement coursework including the prestigious AP Capstone program. All students who attend Countryside High School can also apply to take courses in the award-winning iSTEM technology program. iSTEM strands can also be found on our school website and offer college credit and industry-leading certifications to its participants. If your student is interested in pursuing iSTEM, please contact Mr. Brad Bernstein or Mrs. Degarmo for application information. Thank you again for supporting our school and always supporting our Cougars. We hope that your student is off to a great start this semester and please do not hesitate to reach out to our administration should you need any assistance with your student. Go Cougars! Sincerely, Taylor K. Henderson, Sr. Principal
