Dear wonderful CHMS Families,
It is my pleasure to call CHMS and District 181 home since I moved here in 2016 from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The warm welcome I received in 2016 has not been forgotten and continues to represent the CHMS community that I'm proud to still be part of today. I am both humbled and honored to work here with the incredible staff at CHMS.
The staff here at CHMS are committed to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can reach their full potential. We believe in building strong partnerships with families, and I encourage you to get involved in your child's education. Together, we can create a vibrant school community that empowers our students to become confident, lifelong learners.
I believe in the importance of educating the whole child - academically, socially, and emotionally. This has been my approach during my ten years teaching high school social studies as well as my current and previous administrative roles. I highly value the importance of relationships among students, staff, and families, and feel the best answers and solutions come collaboratively.
I look forward to our time together as we collectively raise and educate our students.
Thank you so very much,
Dr. Levi Brown
CHMS Principal
