Charlie has quite a full academic plate this semester, taking AP US History, Honors English, Honors Spanish, AP Calculus, Calc-based Physics, and AP Chemistry. Of all those classes, his favorite is Calc-based Physics, which he is taking as an independent study (a first for CCHS due to his having maxed out the physics classes). Outside of school, he has started a research project on Machine Learning with Dr. Lu at Southern Illinois University, and teaches a Python programming class for middle school and high school students.
