History

In 1997 , CCDS became one of the first schools in the United States to require its students to purchase Laptop Computers , in partnerships with Microsoft and Toshiba . Every student in grades 5-12 owns a laptop computer for use both at home and at school. Since 2000, the entire campus has been covered by an 802.11b Wireless Network using hardware by Cisco Systems .

In 2001 , the school sued the producers of Steven Soderbergh 's Academy Award -winning film '' Traffic '' for unauthorized use of the name of the school. The suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, as well as the removal of the school's name from any re-releases of the film, including DVD and VHS versions.

In 2002 , CCDS published a book, entitled "''... and Five Miles Farther''", detailing the first 75 years of its history.

In 2003 , the CCDS Lower School received the Blue Ribbon School Award from the United States Department Of Education .
