To become a member of the Catoosa Home Education Association (CHEA), please read the instructions below and complete each of the three steps.  Please note:  Each step must be completed for you to become a member and to have access to the CHEA web site.  Current renewing members must complete steps 2 and 3 only.

Step 1:  Fill out the information on the Request Membership link to gain access to the website. 

If the link in Step 1 does not work, you can access the Request Membership page by selecting the icon at the top of the page.  It will look like a person with a plus sign next to it.   

Renewing members do not need to complete this step since they currently have access to the CHEA website.
