CCSE encourages all scholars to join the Chattanooga Public Library's Summer Reading Program. Log your reading, earn prizes, and keep those reading skills growing all summer long!

It is a day to remember those who gave their lives in military service, and the families who carry that loss forward. Their sacrifice made possible the freedoms we live with every day, and we carry that responsibility.

Big opportunities ahead for our scholars! 🎓

We are excited to partner with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to provide dual enrollment opportunities for CCSE students. This partnership allows eligible students to earn college credit while still in high school, helping them get a head start on their future goals.
