About

Speed. Quality. Ease. Hope. Connection.

It’s the last of that list that best defines the reasons the CHAT newspaper brings you its website. Welcome, by the way.

Connection. If a newspaper doesn’t have it, what reason do you have to visit—and spend time with us? That’s why we offer stories and photos with speed that strike a chord, touch a nerve, and make you blink. Connect.

We hope you like our quality display, and that each category appeals to you in some way. If not, fill out one of our polls, comment, or write us a letter to the editor. We VALUE your input and strive to take your advice with integrity. 

We published this site during one of the most trying times in our history, the Coronavirus pandemic. Our hope is that this site will provide Pembroke Pines Charter High with a forum of student life, exploits, and stories that matter during this tumultuous time—to stay connected now and in the future.
