College in High School (CHS) offers Blackhawk High School students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit in courses taught in our own classrooms. College in High School is an academically rigorous program for students seeking an intellectual challenge within a supportive high school environment. Several classes currently offer students the opportunity to earn college credit from CCBC, University of Pittsburgh, and Robert Morris University. Students are responsible for any fees associated with earning CHS credits- fees vary by course. For additional information on the CHS program, please see a guidance counselor.
