Christiana High School (CHS) is a public high school in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware and has a Newark postal address.[1] It is a part of the Christiana School District.[2] CHS serves a portion of Wilmington including the Shipley Run and West 9th Street historic districts and in the suburbs it serves parts of Brookside and Bear.[3][4][5][6][7]

History[edit]

Founded in 1963, Christiana High School is one of three traditional high schools in the Christina School District, the other two being Newark High School and Glasgow High School.[8][9] It is located outside of Newark near the University of Delaware.

Curriculum[edit]

CHS' curriculum focuses on agricultural and health sciences.[10][better source needed] In accordance with the State of Delaware, Christiana students must complete the following credits to be eligible for graduation: 4.5 credits of electives; 4 credits of English and math; 3 credits of science and social studies; 2 language credits; 1 credit of physical education and an additional science or social studies course; and 0.5 health credit.[11][better source needed] They must also complete the Senior Project and Student Success Plan (SSP) 3 credits of the Career Pathways program.[11][better source needed] Seniors are required to complete a cross-disciplinary research project.[11][better source needed]

In 2004, the Christiana School District was awarded a federal grant to create smaller learning communities to help improve the overall high school experience for students.[12][13]

CHS was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 1984.[14]
