Cascade High School (CHS) has announced its candidacy for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, marking a significant step toward becoming an IB World School. Superintendent Dr. Ian B. Saltzman shared this news during a school board meeting, highlighting the program's focus on academic rigor and international education. The IB Diploma Program, which spans students' junior and senior years, emphasizes critical thinking and language proficiency.
