Literacy Award Reading:        

These books are not required, but student who read these books will earn the Literacy Award. The award will be given at each grade level. However, a larger award will be given at the grade 12 level for the students who have read all the books for each grade level. Copies are available in the CHS library. You may check them out there or at any other library to which you have access. If you prefer, you may purchase your own copy. These books are all considered classics, so any major (or even minor) bookstore should have them, or you can easily purchase them online. When students are finished reading them, they may consult their respective English teacher to learn how they may take the assessment for each book they’ve read.
