Being a student at CPEHS has helped me build a better foundation for my future and shown me how to balance my school work, personal life, and career goals. Mi familia fuera de casa. I will always cherish this school and the people in it." Angelina Ali "Being at CPEHS gave me an experience that I didn't expect to have. Coming here I've made friendships of a lifetime and bonds with teachers that have continuously pushed me to succeed at my best level. Here, I am proud of everything I was able to accomplish and I continue to thrive with all the support offered. " Melanie Colon "One thing I love about CPEHS is the myriad of opportunities and support systems made available to us; whether it is college support from Senior seminar, networking through Girls Inc, or sports events planned by our Student Government, there is always something to do at CPEHS." Denise Martinez In CPEHS, I was given the opportunity to have people by my side at all times throughout my high school experience. Whether it was through my Peer Group leaders mentoring, the Girls Inc organization, or the supporting staff around the school. The upcoming 4 years may seem crucial, but you will never find yourself alone once you become a part of CPEHS' family.
