CHS Academy

The CHS Academy is a Health and Human Services California Partnership Academy^[8] located on the Concord campus and available for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Academy students take their core class with the same classmates for the entire school year, but also take some classes with the general student population. Students in the academy form close relationships with each other and with their teachers throughout their years in the program.

Academy curriculum focuses on preparing students for life after high school with an emphasis on health and human services fields such as medicine, psychology, and social work. Academy students are automatically enrolled in special elective courses to compliment the focus of the Academy. Sophomores take Career Transitions, which focuses on exploring interests and various career fields in the health sector. Juniors take Psychology within the academy, and, in addition to regular classes, attend a Career Explorations class at Diablo Valley College in the spring. Seniors take Sociology, with a focus on looking at modern society in regards to a variety of topics, from homelessness and health issues, to dissecting advertisements in the media. Students in the academy attend many field trips throughout the year, including trips to many local colleges such as UC Davis, Berkeley, the Art Academy, and San Francisco State. Students in the academy also organize the yearly Diversity Conference, blood drives, and donation drives.^[9]

Drama

The drama department at Concord High is led by Paul Crissey and has greatly improved over the last few years. Notably, it was the very first high school in the country to perform the play Zoot Suit. Different levels of drama classes are offered; however, auditions for the productions put on throughout the year are open to all of the school's students. The drama department does three productions a year.

The most recent fall production, To Kill a Mockingbird, starred Jave Hernandez as Atticus Finch.

Fall productions

The fall production is typically a two-act play performed in the drama room, anytime between November and December. Recent productions have included To Kill a Mockingbird]] (2014), Alice in Wonderland (2013), The Breakfast Club (2012), Love, Sex, and the I.R.S (2011), Brighton Beach Memoirs (2010), and Animal Farm (2009).

The One-Acts

The One-Acts are a series of four to eight one-act plays that are performed after the school's winter break. These are an opportunity for students to write and/or direct their own play, excluding the purely freshman one-act play directed by Crissey each year.

Spring productions

The spring production is a musical performed in the school's multipurpose room. Recent productions include Guys and Dolls (2015), Fame the Musical (2014), Footloose (2013), Little Shop of Horrors (2012), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2011), and Guys and Dolls (2010).
