Moreover, in 2015 Collegiate High School was named America’s Top High School by Newsweek, which ranked CHCHS as the second-best school in the State of Texas and the seventy-sixth best high school in the United States.  CHCHS provides motivated students the rigor, depth, and intensity of college-level work in a smaller, learner-centered environment.  CHCHS also helps students and their families save time and money by integrating high school and college.  Through a partnership with Cedar Valley Community College, students are able to complete 60 hours of college credit tuition-free and earn an associate degree prior to high school graduation.
