A special shout-out to Paris Jackson, a CPHS Junior, who delivered student reflections during the meeting and did an outstanding job!

A few weeks ago, Cumberland County Schools launched the United Way Campaign, “40 Days of Caring,” with a district-wide goal of raising $125,000. Cumberland Polytechnic High School is off to a strong start, helping CCS work toward that goal. Now, we’d like to invite our families to join us in supporting this cause by donating on behalf of Cumberland Polytechnic High School.

United Way is a nonprofit organization that partners with local groups to provide resources and funding throughout our community. You can explore their website to learn more about how United Way supports our area.

If you’d like to contribute, simply click here and select Cumberland Polytechnic High School. No donation is too small, and your support makes a difference!

Thank you for helping us give back!
