Quotes

How has this faculty member impacted your time here at CHS? (Click the arrows to scroll)

Mr. Vito is the one Social Studies teacher I've had that has always been able to grab my attention during lessons. He always finds some way to make learning US II material fun, which helps me to remember the material more. He's also really helpful, knowing a ton about each lesson we learn (and even some interesting fun facts).
