Principal's Message
August 4, 2026
Dear Warrior Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Warren and CCA! Whether you're a returning Warrior family or joining us for the first time, we're so glad you're here.
The start of a new school year always brings a sense of excitement and possibility. It's a chance for students to set new goals, discover new interests, build friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are honored to be part of that journey with you.
One of the things that makes Warren so special is our community. The partnerships we build with our families make a tremendous difference in the success of our students. We encourage you to stay connected, attend school events, celebrate your child's accomplishments, and reach out whenever you have questions or need support. We are better when we work together.
As we begin this new school year, our focus remains on creating a school where every Warrior feels a sense of belonging and takes pride in their accomplishments.
Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your support of Warren and CCA. I can't wait to see all that our students accomplish this year. Here's to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and celebrating what it means to be a Warrior!
GO WARRIORS!
Melissa Hurst
Principal
