Principal’s Message
CONGRATULATIONS! You have been matched to Cypress Hills Collegiate Preparatory High School. This is an exciting and possibly anxious time for you. CHCP wants to provide you with a smooth transition to high school and the best way to do this is to attend one of our Open House dates. For our Open House dates call us at (718) 647-1672. Join us for a tour of the campus, participate in fun activities, get CHCP swag and learn about upcoming opportunities to engage with the Cypress Hills Community.
