Cardinal Dynamics Robotic Team

Corbett High School's robotics team, Cardinal Dynamics, has been working hard preparing for the 2025 FIRST Robotics Competition season. This year’s game, titled REEFSCAPE, was revealed on January 6th. The team has been diligently working on designs and prototypes for their robot. They only have about 5 more weeks to finish before the season tournaments start.


Corbett High School will be competing in two tournaments this season. The first will be March 7-8 at the Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences in Oregon City, and the second will be March 22-23 at Wilsonville High School. We hope you can come out and support the team! Follow us on instagram and watch our season progress: https://www.instagram.com/cardinaldynamics/.

Tanya Hayden-Food Services Assistant

Interviewed by Michelle Carter Smith


Mark and Dorthy Hayden raised their two children on Salzman Road in Corbett, and Dorthy continues to work as a long-time (35+ years) employee of the Corbett School District. Dorthy currently works as a bus driver. Daughter Tanya was the youngest of the two kids and attended Corbett schools with her older brother until 8th grade. In high school, Tanya attended nearby Barlow High School. After graduation, Tanya held a variety of jobs locally and eventually got married to the father of her two sons. Currently, Tanya is living in Portland and both her boys attend Corbett High School. Hunter is a senior this year and plays both basketball and football. River is a junior and he enjoys video games and being with his friends. Tanya is a single mom who works full-time for the Corbett School District as a Food Services Assistant. This is a position she has held for more than ten years, and she greatly enjoys the opportunity to be a part of the district and see her boys while working! During the week, Tanya delivers breakfast and lunch meals to both CAPS and the Corbett Middle School as well as any extra food items needed. All children in the district are eligible for both a free breakfast and lunch, so Tanya is kept busy! She also oversees the students eating in the main campus cafeteria, inputs student information into the computer, and helps out with anything needed in the kitchen such as restocking shelves or washing dishes. She said that the camaraderie with the staff is a gift, as everyone genuinely works together for the good of the order. While at home, Tanya enjoys crafting and gardening. She said she loves to make homemade salsa and jam in the summer. During the summer she also bartends at the local McMenamin's Edgefield and says that bartending is enjoyable for several reasons. It is a fun atmosphere and she regularly gets to see people she knows. The family has a two-year-old Golden Retriever named "Remi" and their pup is the baby of the family!

Your health team at Corbett has been busy with many tasks to make sure the students and staff are staying healthy.

One important task is to check on immunization records and help families know which immunizations are needed. February 19, 2025 is immunization exclusion day in Oregon. “All children who are not up-to-date or complete on their immunizations will be excluded from their school or child care facility.” (multco.us. 2025).

Cheryl Reams, School Health Assistant, is happy to answer any questions regarding your specific student’s immunizations that are not current. You can reach her at: 503-261-4258.

Multnomah County Student Health Centers are one resource for immunizations. Your student will not be charged for services. They take any insurance and are happy to assist if your student does not currently have insurance. Immunizations are one of the many services they provide.


Reynolds High School Student Health Center: 503-988-3340,

David Douglas High School Student Health Center: 503-988-3554

Centennial High School Student Health Center: 503-988- 5488


Wishing all our students, staff, and families a strong, resilient, and healthy 2025!

Hello from PTA!

Look what we’ve recently been able to fund thanks to your support— calm down corners in each CGS class and on each side of the commons, cleaning supplies, books and fun educational programs to assist in classroom learning, and rockets for the 6th grade motion and energy unit— just to name a few! We appreciate your continued contributions and support for our staff and students.


Our next meeting will be Feb 13th.
