Student Testimonials

"Chesapeake Career Center played an instrumental part in my junior and senior year high school experience. Under the leadership of Dr. Windham, CCC educators and support team provided me with a challenging curriculum and comprehensive support to succeed. CCC works to ensure students have a successful transition from high school into the workforce or college. Chesapeake Career Center's collaborations with business owners in the community provided me an externship that gave me hands-on experience. I am grateful to have graduated from Chesapeake Career Center with sixteen college credits, a cybersecurity certification, and a CompTIA Security+ certification. Currently, I am a freshman at Old Dominion University, dual majoring in Cyber Operations and Computer Engineering." ~Terrance Wilson, Class of 2020
