Another Great Week In Ranger Country!
What an incredible week in Ranger Country! Family Promise Week is a wonderful reminder of what makes our school special. The generosity, enthusiasm, and collective effort displayed by our students, staff, and families showcase the power of coming together for something bigger than ourselves.
Service is one of the pillars of our culture, and this week our Rangers brought that pillar to life! There is something incredibly special about belonging to a school that doesn't just talk about making a difference, but takes action to do so. This is just another way that our community sets the standard for excellence here at CHS.
A tremendous thank you to Mrs.Butler, Mrs. Richardson, and the entire FHC Staff for their continued leadership, creativity, and willingness to innovate. Fourteen years of a successful partnership with Family Promise of West Michigan is an incredible accomplishment, and the impact of their work reaches far beyond our school walls.
To everyone who contributed, volunteered, and gave generously, thank you for reminding us what it means to be a Ranger. I look forward to sharing our total donations and impact in next week's newsletter.
Thank you for your continued partnership,
Jon Haga
Principal, Central High School

A story of heart and wonder that will leave you questioning: What would you risk to save the ones you love?
