CHS Parent Bulletin

Dear Coldwater High School Parents,

As we welcome the arrival of spring, we also begin the final nine weeks of the 2025–2026 school year. This is an important time for our students as they work to finish the year strong, stay focused on their studies, and continue making progress toward their academic goals and graduation.

Please remember that PSAT and SAT testing will take place on April 8. You can help your student prepare by encouraging a good night’s sleep, making sure they arrive at school on time with a fully charged Chromebook and reminding them to do their best on these important assessments.

Parents are also encouraged to log into Skyward to review your student’s course selections for the 2026–2027 school year. This is a good opportunity to discuss future plans together and ensure the classes selected align with your student’s academic and post-secondary goals.

Finally, the coming weeks will include many important announcements and events for our senior parents and families as we approach graduation season. We will be sending messages to senior parents for these important events.

Thank you for your continued support. Working together, we can help all of our students stay focused and finish the school year strong.

Sincerely,

Steve Hope

Coldwater High School Student Council recently conducted the annual "Share the Love" Drive!, collecting donations for Shelter House. We had numerus donations from students, staff and parents.

In 1st place was Mr. Spray's class with 775 pts! In 2nd place was a tie between Mrs. Qualls/Mrs. Davenport and Ms. Davis with 320 pts. In 4th place was Mr. Kelly with 300 pts. and in 5th place was Ms. Butcher with 290 pts.

With ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students all testing on Wednesday, March 3, many seniors took that day as an opportunity to help our neighbors. Senior class sponsor, Ms. Jaci Hoorman, and many senior students helped with the clean up efforts after the devastating tornadoes near Union City.

The CHS Concert and Symphonic bands earned straight ones at the District Festival. Their hard work and dedication led to these great performances and the highest scores attainable. Congratulations to our student-musicians and the band directors, Ms. Katie Jewell and Mr. Aaron Wood.

Several CHS student-artists were selected to be part of the annual Michigan Art Education Association State Art Show! Maranda Walinski was selected as a Top 20 artist! Her artwork will be displayed at Albion College, and on tour around the state afterwards.

Mya Porter became the sixth Cardinal girls basketball player, and eleventh CHS basketball player overall, to join the 1,000-point club. She broke the 1,000 point threshold on Senior Night at the Coach Floyd Eby Gymnasium. Congratulations to Mya and Coach Ken Smoker.

Congratulations to our School Resource Officer, Nooh Aljably, on receiving the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce Public Servant or Professional of the Year Award!
