The dedicated staff of the CCSD works hard to encourage students to engage in their education and graduate on time.

In high school, students can enrich their academic experiences through a growing number of CTAE pathways and work-based learning opportunities, dual enrollment courses offered at each high school campus, more rigorous Advanced Placement course offerings, the IB Diploma Programme, as well as athletics and fine arts programs.
Overall, this outstanding accomplishment is a picture of the hard work and dedication of our staff, students, and their families. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2026.
