'Hawk for a Day' Programhome
Prospective students are encouraged to participate in the 'Hawk for a Day' program to experience a typical day at COHS. Student feedback on the program is overwhelmingly positive.
During a stint as 'Hawk for a Day,' prospective students are paired with a current COHS student who shares similar interests. Prospective students attend all the host student's classes, experiencing first-hand the COHS environment, teachers, and students. The program is available to all 8th grade students and transfer students.
Important Facts:
- Students should arrive at COHS and check in at the Enrollment Office at 7:30am
- The school day will end at 1:50pm for visiting students
- Lunch will be provided at no cost to visiting students*
- Students are expected to adhere to the COHS dress code as closely as possible
- Students may bring a notepad and pencil to take notes during classes and/or a book to read if the host student has a scheduled exam
