CHS Earns PLTW Distinguished School Recognition!

We are proud to share that Constantine High School has been named a 2024-25 PLTW (Project Lead The Way) Distinguished School, one of only seven high schools in Michigan to receive this national recognition! This honor celebrates our commitment to providing students with meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities through our PLTW Biomedical Science program.

This year marks a major milestone, as our first cohort of seniors successfully completed all four years of the STEM Biomedical curriculum offered at CHS. Their hard work and dedication were honored during Senior Honors Night with a special White Coat Ceremony led by CHS STEM teacher JoEllen Pollack.


Our students have taken on rigorous science coursework that mirrors real-world and college-level experiences -- including one of their final challenges: suturing techniques that could help them earn suturing certification. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and grateful to our staff for making this transformative program possible.

Way to go, Falcons! πŸ₯ΌπŸ”¬πŸŽ“

Dayne Cuvo Represents at State HOSA Competition

This spring, Constantine High School Class of 2025 graduate Dayne Cuvo represented Constantine as part of the St. Joseph County CTE Consortium at the STATE HOSA Competition held at Grand Traverse Resort. A second-year CTE student in Health Sciences, Dayne discovered HOSA - Future Health Professionals last year. HOSA is a nationally recognized, student-led organization supported by the U.S. Department of Education, designed to promote career opportunities in the healthcare field.


After placing 3rd at Regionals in 2024 and competing at State, Dayne set a personal goal to return and improve her performance. She achieved just that - earning 1st place at Regionals in Physical Therapy this year, and qualifying for state competition once again. At the State level, she placed 7th overall, a significant leap from the previous year - and she was the only competitor from St. Joseph County to place at State, an impressive accomplishment.


While Dayne’s achievements in competition are noteworthy, it’s her enthusiasm for the hands-on learning and career exploration through her CTE experience that truly stands out. During her placement at Beacon Health, Dayne gained real-world experience by developing home exercise programs and practicing therapeutic skills with patients. Her dedication and passion brought wellness to life in a powerful way.


Congratulations, Dayne, on your outstanding accomplishments and for representing Constantine Public Schools with excellence! Stories like yours show the powerful impact of Career & Technical Education in helping students find their passion and purpose.

Celebrating Growth at Constantine Middle School!

In May, all 305 CMS students were rewarded with a fun-filled day at JaRisa's Fun Zone, complete with skating and laser tag - all expenses paid! This special outing was a celebration of the academic growth students achieved this year in their NWEA educational assessment. Every student demonstrated improvement in at least one tested area - Math or Reading - with many showing gains in both subjects.


We’re incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and effort - your hard work is truly paying off! A huge thank you goes out to our staff for continuously supporting and challenging our students to do their best. It was a memorable day for CMS, and we’re already excited to build on this success next year!

Riverside Elementary Honors Local Heroes

This past Memorial Day, Riverside Elementary’s 5th-grade students helped bring extra meaning to the holiday with a powerful act of remembrance. Alongside their teachers, students walked through the Village of Constantine to the Constantine Township Cemetery, where they took time to honor our community’s fallen service members.


Each student was given the opportunity to locate a veteran’s gravesite and place an American flag in remembrance of their service and sacrifice. It was an eye-opening and moving experience, helping students reflect on the deep connection our community holds with those who have served in the military.


We extend a heartfelt thank you to the 5th-grade teachers for guiding this meaningful activity, and to the Constantine Cemetery staff for their support. Your efforts instilled respect, gratitude, and civic pride in our students-reminding us all of the importance of honoring those who gave so much.
