Opportunity by Design

The mission of HCS is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and support to THRIVE in life. While we know this mission starts with a primary focus on academics, we also understand from listening to our community that a student must possess qualities beyond academics to excel in the real world. We strive to create graduates who embody our "Portrait of a Graduate" with skills rooted in academics, problem-solving, effective communication, cultural inclusivity, and resiliency.

High school students interested in early childhood education are also gaining real, hands-on experience while earning certifications and high school credit.We’re grateful to our partners Chambliss Center for Children, UTC, Chattanooga State, and the City of Chattanooga for helping bring this to life.A milestone worth celebrating. 💛 ...
