What academic or personal skills did you gain at CH-CH?  My drive to continue improving my work is something that stuck with me through college, and now through my career. My boss recently commented on my clear and continuous effort to continue growing and learning within my industry... I had Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall to credit for that.
What did you gain from your CH-CH experience? At CH-CH, I was finally working at school and succeeding because I found value in what I was learning, not just trying to get-by.  Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall also allowed me to come out of my shell and flourish in all respects. I never felt like I needed to fit any specific mold to succeed, whether in academics or socially. My teachers and my classmates always encouraged me to be myself, something that I never would have experienced at a bigger high school.

What did you like the most about being a CH-CH student? I loved the support and the opportunity to try things out and to see how far I could take them.

Do you have an example of a teacher helping guide you? Cal Hitzrot, my freshman and sophomore history teacher. Not only was he incredibly engaged in what he was teaching, he expected a lot from all of his students. He pushed me to do better every day.
