Mock ACT/SAT opportunities in Jan. & Feb.
Juniors: We have mock SAT and ACT tests coming up to help you prepare for the real thing, which you will be taking March-June of 2012. The first mock test will be Saturday, Jan. 7, from 9am - 1pm. The cost is $15, sign up on the CPHS webstore.

You can choose either the ACT or the SAT. Colleges give each test the same weight in the admissions process; you need to decide which test you prefer or whether you will take both in the spring.

Results will be available on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 7pm in the library. There will be a second mock test on Feb. 25, also offering both the ACT and SAT, so students have the opportunity to try both to see if they have a preference.
Leadership sponsors book drive
Leadership is holding a book drive for Children's Hospital Oakland.  We are requesting donations of new or gently used children's books.
