Moving Forward with Purpose.

Welcome to Chippewa Jr./Sr. High School!

As our doors open wider and our school family grows, we are stepping into this school year with clear intention and relentless focus.

Reflecting on our journey, I am deeply grateful for the trust, dedication, and energy our students, staff, and families bring every single day. Last year was about establishing our stride as a community of learners. We proved what happens when a school operates with shared high expectations. Now, we are not starting over—we are building on everything we achieved together.

This year marks an exciting structural evolution as we officially transition to a 6–12 building. With our incoming 6th graders joining us and the creation of distinct Junior High and Senior High wings, we are expanding our physical footprint to better support our students at every stage of their development. While our structure is growing, our shared purpose remains undivided: we are one united school family, committed to one culture of excellence.

In education, there is no standing still. Neutrality does not exist. Every choice we make—our thoughts, our words, our daily actions, and the climate we create—carries a direction. Every decision either moves our culture forward or lets us slide backward. Every little detail matters. The foundation we laid last year is our launchpad; this year is about ensuring that every step we take moves us forward.

Whether we are empowering our youngest learners in our new foundational courses or guiding our senior high school students toward college, career, or employment, we are committed to moving every single student forward.

Thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and commitment to Chippewa Junior/Senior High School. Let’s make this year extraordinary!

Forward together,

Go Chipps!
