It is with a heavy heart that this community learned of the passing of Ted Hilton. Surrounded by and teaching children… that is how most will remember Mr. Hilton. He was more than the principal of West Side School for 43 years, his presence and legendary stories at assemblies continued throughout his life with visits to West Side. Each principal who followed in the footsteps of Mr. Hilton, welcomed him back to ring the bell at the start of opening day.
As a district, we RISE Up to help those in need!

For ten years, Teachers College (TC) staff developers from Columbia University have worked in partnership with CSH School District, providing on-site classroom demonstration lessons and professional development workshops focused on content and pedagogy.

Not only has Teachers College continued to support staff here at CSH, but they have taken it a step further by helping to support teachers with remote instruction tools.
