Welcome To the Chaminade High School Dissident Website.
The purpose of this web site is to facilitate a dialogue about Chaminade High School, in Mineola, New York.  We feel that just the act of discussion marks this website as a "dissident website", because no such dialogue would be sanctioned by Chaminade itself.  This website will focus on four groups of people affected by CHS.
