November 4, 2022 – Collinsville High School course registration for the 2023-24 school year begins in mid-November 2022. ALL students who will attend CHS next Fall are required to select and register for courses during this time.
Registering for next year’s classes at this point in the current school year allows time for the high school to project course demand to plan staffing and scheduling for the upcoming school year.
Below you will find information for both current CHS students AND incoming freshmen (current 8th graders) who will attend Collinsville High School beginning Fall 2024.
