    Welcome to Chino Hills High School, The Pride of the Hills!  I will have the honor of being your English instructor for the academic year.  My goal is to increase and strengthen your student's knowledge in the English curricula area. Our curriculum is based on ELA Common Core and Essential Standards.  These standards will be my guide for planning and implementing daily activities/lessons, short/long-term objectives, and assessments.  I look forward to a productive and successful year.  Go CHHS Huskies!
      
    Please feel free to contact me via email (michelle_chappell@chino.k12.ca.us) with any questions or concerns you may have.
