Below are the summer reading requirements for students enrolled in these classes for the fall of 2018. Students must read the books listed for any class in which they are enrolled for the fall. Teachers will hold students accountable for having read these books on the first day of class. Whatever class the student is enrolled in before schedule changes in the fall determines which book the student is required to read for the first day of class. We have contacted the CCHS Library/Media Center and Koelbel and Castlewood libraries to let them know there will be students asking to check out these books this summer. We have also contacted our school bookstore and the Barnes and Nobles stores in our attendance area, as well as Tattered Cover, so that these stores can stock enough books for students who want to buy them.
