CHICOPEE Comprehensive High School is expecting to add a new class for the fall, but the students won’t graduate in four years, five years or even in a decade.
Educators are planning to begin a preschool program for 3- and 4-year-old children similar to one already offered at Chicopee High School, Principal Andrew Lamothe said.
The program will fill two needs. Along with providing convenient and high-quality early childhood education for children of city staff, it is designed to give high school students who are taking child development classes some hands-on experience observing and working with young children, he said.
