Congratulations to CJHS' first senior class members who
were accepted to numerous universities. Seniors Zach Berkman, Evan Dreifuss,
Mollie Flink, Samantha Freeman and Beth Magid applied to a variety of
schools across the country with guidance from Director of College Counseling
Marybeth Kravets and College Counseling Associate Marissa Lifshen. In
addition to factors such as size, location, and curriculum, Jewish life
on campus was an important consideration for CJHS students when determining
a school's "fit." The following is a list of colleges and Israel programs
to which CJHS seniors were accepted this year.
