Chelmsford High Earns More Honors In New Top Schools List

After being named as the 773rd best high school in America by Newsweek earlier this month, Chelmsford High has received another award, this time from a publication closer to home.

GoLocalWorcester has named CHS as #90 in its Second Annual Massachusetts' Top High Schools list.
