Parent involvement and student achievement go hand in hand at Citizens High School, so we make it easy for you to be actively involved in your student’s education.

It offers a glimpse of Citizens High School, which will play a defining role in your student’s life for the next three or four years, and in that sense, is as important to you as it is to your student.
