Mr. Chernosky has always been there for me and helped me through times when I needed it. He’s helped me come out of my shell since Freshman year. He’s also a phenomenal instrumentalist and music teacher and he has helped me grow my skills as a musician by a long shot. I would not be musically where I am today without him.

When I first came to CHS, I was scared I wasn't going to meet new people and Mr. Chernosky was definitley apart of most of the friendships I built in CHS. He truly is amazing not only has he created a enviroment where one is comfortable to be themselve but created a family.

Mr. Chernosky is always there to talk to for anyone at any time. He is there to help you in and out of class. Also, he doesn't look down upon students, but treats us as his equals. While we may not understand why we do some things, Cherns always wants the best for us.
