For Academic Year 2024 -2025 CHS requests approval to increase capacity by up to 50 students for a total of 485 students in CHS. For context, CHS has grown in stages: In Academic Year 2022 – 2023, fulfilling the Expanding Early College and Career and Technical Education Grant through the Florida Department of Education, CHS added 50 seats to its prior 285 seat capacity to offer 9th grade at CHS specifically in an Associate in Science (A.S.)

For Academic Year 2024 – 2025, CHS proposes adding up to 50 seats. These seats will permit the original 50 9th grade students to continue progressing from 10th to 11th grade. This will bring the total maximum enrollment of CHS to 485 students. There is sufficient space in the CHS building to accommodate this expansion, and CHS has appropriate staff to support the expansion. For more information, please contact Brooke Barron, 850-833-4208.
