Students enrolled in such classes must do so at the college campus, which then gives the high school the information provided by the student. Students attend the college-level classes at Copper Hills for either a quarter, semester, or full year (depending on the class). Credit is received based on overall grade performance and, in most cases, a cumulative exam of the information learned in the class. Additionally, Copper Hills offers nationwide Advanced Placement (AP) classes to its students. Copper Hills offers clubs and extracurricular activities for its students, including American Sign Language, Cheerleading, Chess Club, Dance, DECA/FBLA, Drama, Future Farmers of America, French Club,〔http://goldlanguage.wikispaces.com/French+Club〕 Chasms literary magazine, Yearbook, FCCLA, Social Ballroom Dance, Student Government, Band, National Honors Society, Newspaper, Skills USA/VICA, Spanish language Club, Technology Student Association, and Science Club. Copper Hills has a history of continuously striving to implement and improve programs to best address student needs. Starting in the 2006-2007 school year, the school required students to take "Partner Adults With Students" (PAWS). PAWS was a mandatory 30 minute class taken every Wednesday where students discussed concerns/issues with their teachers and teachers further instruct students on a provided topic. Starting in the 2007-2008 school year, Copper Hills included five academies within the school: Business and Information technology, Performing arts/crafts, Industry/Mathematics and Science, English studies|English/Social studies, or[Sport|Athletics. All students were required to choose an academy. The school grouped students of the same academy to take classes geared toward that particular academy. At one point, Copper Hills was the only high school in the district with a late-start schedule. This modification was created after student surveys revealed that over 80% of students hold after-school jobs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Copper Hills High ) 〕 Currently, Copper Hills' scheduled includes a homeroom class on Mondays and late start on Fridays. In homeroom, students are grouped with others in their same grade, and will continue to meet with the same group during their three years at the school (a change made in the 2013-2014 school year). Friday late start schedules allow time for teachers to meet and collaborate across the school and across departments.
