CHS has four freshman academy teams, each made up of approximately 150 students, who share four teachers (English, Science, Social Studies, and Freshman Seminar). Each team also contains a special education teacher, a counselor, as well as a dean of students.

All four teams are named after an esteemed CHS graduate and CHS Hall of Fame inductee. The teachers on each team carefully and thoughtfully selected a namesake individual who embodies characteristics that are desirable traits for all CHS Eagles to possess.
