From Our Principal
While striving for academic excellence, YCHS students are faced with the significant challenge of a robust and comprehensive curriculum comprised of essential core courses. This diverse curriculum ensures that students will engage in in-depth studies across a range of important subjects, including Math, Science, English Language Arts (ELA), Social Studies, Literature, and Religion. Each of these disciplines plays a vital role in shaping well-rounded individuals, equipping them with the knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for success in both their academic and personal lives.
