Definition of Pod
Pod is a place to be known, loved, and inspired.
Pod is an enhanced advisory model unique to CNHS. Often considered the heart of our school, students and advisors frequently describe pod as a "second family." All students belong to a pod with no more than seventeen others, and each pod sticks together with its advisor through all four years of high school. A pod is also a reserved meeting, working, and living space for students. Pod becomes a place where students feel "home away from home" in our school. Our commitment to pod ensures that every student at City Neighbors High School is “Known, Loved, and Inspired.”
