The Class of 1975—the very first Warriors to attend Chippewa Hills High School for all four years after the high school opened in 1971—is celebrating their 50th Class Reunion during Homecoming Weekend, September 26–27.
They’ll be joining the Homecoming festivities on Friday, Sept. 26, then gathering for a reunion dinner on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 5 PM at Tally’s Bar & Grill in Lake Isabella.
This milestone is more than a reunion—it’s a reminder of our rich Warrior history and the generations who have walked these halls for over half a century. ❤️💙
Here’s to 50 years of friendships, memories, and Warrior pride—congratulations, Class of 1975! We look forward to seeing you at the Homecoming Game next week! 🏈🎉

Nearly every part of classroom instruction today depends on technology—from the platforms and software our teachers use, to the computers, phones, and equipment in every room. Behind it all is our amazing Chippewa Hills Tech Team: Cassidy LaLonde, Katy Maddox, Justin Compson, and Susan Ruster!
They work tirelessly to keep our systems running, solve problems quickly, and ensure students and staff have the tools they need to learn and succeed.
Thank you for everything you do—we couldn’t do it without you. Proud to have you on the Warrior team!
🍎 A Huge Thank You to Our Food Service Team! 🍎
This summer, our Chippewa Hills Food Service team went above and beyond with Meet Up and Eat Up—a food distribution program providing free meals all summer to children and teens 18 and under.
Because of their incredible dedication, we are proud to share that over 96,376 meals were served to children in our community this summer!
We are so grateful for the hard work, long hours, and big hearts of our Food Service team. Their commitment to caring for kids ensures that no child goes without a healthy meal—even when school is out.

At Weidman Elementary, Mrs. Piatkowski’s 2nd grade class spent time learning about the events of 9/11, the heroes who inspired us, and the memorials that help us remember.
Together, they created a powerful class collage poster to honor Patriot Day—and it’s nothing short of amazing.
Sometimes the simplest projects carry the biggest impact. Beautiful job, Warriors! ❤️🤍💙
Every Friday, we show our Warrior spirit loud and proud! Wear your Warriors gear or school colors and help turn our hallways into a sea of red and blue.
Let’s fill our schools and community with Warrior Pride this Friday and every Friday—because once a Warrior, always a Warrior! 💪
Our Girls Golf team is looking sharp (and staying dry!) thanks to their brand-new rain gear provided by the CH Sports Boosters.
The Boosters have a long history of stepping up for our Warrior athletes, and this year is no exception! Recently, the Boosters gave $30,000 to Chippewa Hills Athletics to support our teams.
In addition to the golf rain gear, the Boosters purchased new volleyball uniforms, football helmets, a baseball batting cage, and additions to the high school weight room for all Warrior students to use!
We are so grateful not only for the Boosters’ generosity, but also for the parent volunteers and community sponsors who make these efforts possible. Your dedication and support make a huge difference for all our Warrior athletes! ❤️💙
Our Warrior community pauses today to remember September 11, 2001, and honor those we lost. May we never forget, and may we continue to choose unity, compassion, and hope. ❤️🤍💙
In Mr. Shephard’s Life After High School class, students don’t just talk about real-world skills—they practice them. Last week, the class rolled up their sleeves for a lesson on how to do an oil change, led by senior Paul Webster. 🙌
Practical, hands-on learning that gets our Warriors ready for life beyond CHHS! 💙❤️
📱 How to Set Up Rooms Notifications in the CHSD App 📱
You may have noticed some exciting improvements to the CHSD App this summer to make it even easier to stay connected. One big update is in Rooms — parents can now choose how you’d like to be notified when a teacher, coach, or advisor sends you a message or class announcement.
By default, you’ll still get push notifications through the CHSD app, but now you can also choose to get email alerts and text messages right to your phone!
Check out our step-by-step guide on setting up your Rooms notifications so you never miss an important update: https://aptg.co/mJjjhB

We are thrilled to announce that Mecosta Elementary has been recognized as a Unified Champion School by Special Olympics Michigan! 🌟
This prestigious designation honors schools that are leading the way in inclusion, respect, and meaningful friendships among students of all abilities. Unified Champion Schools create a culture where every student feels valued, supported, and connected—both in the classroom and on the playground.
A huge thank you to our students, staff, and families for making Mecosta Elementary a place where inclusion isn’t just an idea—it’s a way of life!
Congratulations, Mecosta Elementary!
🌟 Why This Bond Matters Now 🌟
This November, Chippewa Hills voters will consider a zero mill increase bond proposal. That means important safety and facility upgrades can move forward without raising the current tax rate of 2.41 mills.
Why now?
➡️ Zero Mill Increase — as existing debt is paid off, this bond can be structured at no increase to the current tax rate.
➡️ Delays = Higher Future Costs — construction and repair costs grow every year; delaying only makes future projects more expensive.
➡️ Safety Can’t Wait — updated entrances and modern emergency systems are urgent needs to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
This is a rare opportunity to address critical needs, improve learning spaces, and expand community facilities—all while keeping the tax rate the same.

To learn more about this exciting trip, please attend the informational meeting on Wednesday, September 17 at 6 PM in the High School LGI room.
