A Message From Mr. Hansel and Mrs.Crone
Cadet Community,
You should have received your student’s transcript via email earlier this week. Please take a moment to review it.
If you did not receive the transcript or have any questions, please reach out to us and we will be happy to assist you.
We also want to share that our seniors will be participating in the Polar Plunge in support of Special Olympics Indiana. This is a meaningful opportunity for our students to give back and support an incredible organization. Any donation—big or small—would be greatly appreciated and will go directly toward supporting Special Olympics athletes.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Cascade High School.
Let’s go Cadets!
Show Up & Show Out,
Mr. Hansel and Mrs. Crone
Winter Homecoming 2026
Dear Parents and Guardians,
On March 4th, all juniors will be taking the SAT on campus. To provide them with a quiet, focused, and less hectic testing environment, we are offering the rest of our students the flexibility to participate in college and career readiness (CCR) activities of their choice off-campus.
For students who are unable to arrange off-campus activities, we will have engaging CCR opportunities available at school. This approach not only supports our juniors during testing but also gives all students an authentic, real-world experience related to their future plans.
For Juniors:
After completing the SAT, juniors will be allowed to leave campus to participate in CCR activities or stay at school to engage in on-campus activities.
To help us plan accordingly, we are sending out a form for parents to complete, letting us know what option their student will be participating in.
Thank you for your support in making this a productive day for all our students.

Policies and Handbook
As we continue our journey towards a successful school year, we want to remind you of some important policies that help ensure a positive and focused learning environment for everyone. These expectations are in place not only for your success at Cascade but to prepare you for success beyond our doors.
-
Cell Phones: Please remember that cell phones are not allowed during class time. They should be turned off or silenced and kept in your locker or bag during instructional periods. We want to ensure your full attention is on your learning and the classroom environment.
-
Backpacks: For safety and organizational purposes, backpacks are not permitted in classrooms. Please store them in your locker at the beginning of each day.
Food Delivery: We do not allow food deliveries, including services like DoorDash, to be delivered to the school. Please make arrangements to bring food from home or purchase from the school cafeteria.
-
Vape Policy: Cascade High School maintains a strict no-vaping policy. Vaping is prohibited on school grounds and at school events. Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary actions.
-
Addiction Support: If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please remember that we partner with the Willow Center to offer confidential support and resources. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help.
-
Punctuality and Respect: It is expected that all students are on time for each class and show respect towards their peers, teachers, and all staff members. Respecting each other creates a positive learning environment for everyone.
At Cascade, our goal is to equip you with the skills and values necessary for success. We believe in your potential and expect you to meet these standards to help you grow into responsible and successful young adults.
