Coaches Cafe

Many people think that the CHS/CMS coaches have a limited menu of Literacy help (multi-text assignments) and Tech help (Can Google do this?). But at our core we are instructional coaches that are here to serve you a wide array of menu items. We are always looking to serve more members of our hardworking staff! Take a look at the menu and pick something you'd like to try in the new year!
