What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, February 11, 2019

CHHS in DeSoto County is the worst school in the entire district. The students are bullied by faculty members and abused in so many ways. They do not know the meaning of the word confidentiality, and students are talked about by faculty to everyone. Most of the faculty do not even know the rules/regulations of the school. Very tight-group will lie to protect each other when their actions are reported by several students. Close Quote
