A Community of Learners.

The momentum from last year continues to shape the year ahead at Chippewa. With strong student achievement, a 5-Star district rating, and a culture fueled by student voice and staff dedication, our school community is more united than ever. Classrooms are places of ownership and growth, and every student is empowered to lead, learn, and belong. Chippewa isn’t just a school—it’s a community of learners.
