Collegiate High School

Transcript

Get ready to meet Sophie and Frederick, a dynamic sister-brother duo at the Collegiate High School at NWFSC. Sophie is a high school freshman, and Frederick is a high school senior. They’re here to give us a start to finish overview of CHS. Let’s hear it, Sophie and Frederick.

– Hey, Alex. Thank you for having us.

– We are so happy to be here. Collegiate High School is by far one of the best high schools in Okaloosa County. I personally applied because of the opportunity it grant students to obtain certifications and requirements that benefit college applications. After researching and comparing my options, I determined that CHS was the best fit. CHS provided its students with the ability to learn accountability, responsibility, and professionalism skills.

– In addition to receiving our high school diploma, us CHS students also receive an Associates in Arts and Science degree upon our senior year of graduation. Students get free textbooks and tuition, as well as access to campus resources, including the academic tutoring and personal attention to each student. CHS and the Northwest Florida State College also have numerous clubs and activities for students. This includes the African American Student Association, History club, Brain Bowl, Art club, and so much more. Students receive information in the classroom from the college professors, who have advanced degrees and are passionate about helping students thrive and pursue their goals. CHS and Northwest Florida State College strive to help students obtain the information they need to succeed, while also hosting a wide variety of groups for students to have fun.

– [Sophie] The Associate in Science program introduces students to the basic concepts of Window applications and different coding languages. Upon graduating with an Associate in Science degree, students can successfully apply for various jobs and fields, such as information technology support. The Associate in Arts degree, on the other hand, provides students with a general information and education, and other useful career skills.

– CHS has prepared us for college in so many ways, and has greatly impacted my way of thinking. We will continue to use the critical skills we’ve learned, such as communication, problem solving, and open-mindedness.

– Well, that’s a wrap.

– Back to you, Alex.

– Way to go, Sophie and Frederick. Thank you for sharing your experiences at CHS. I’m glad to hear that students can start their college journey as early as the ninth grade. It’s incredible. And it’s a great option for those who wanna get ahead of the game. Great job, you two.
