We’re heading back to the 70’s for today’s throwback! Chippewa Hills has always had a strong Industrial Arts program, offering a range of classes such as wood shop, welding, auto mechanics, and small engines. We still offer many of these classes at our high school today! Check out this group from Mr. Thompson’s automotive mechanics class in 1976. Do you recognize any of these Warriors?

Check out this group of dapper-looking Warriors from Prom 2001. They sure cleaned up nicely! If you look closely, you may spot a future Board of Education member looking particularly spiffy.

Have you noticed that the grounds around our secondary complex are all spruced up?

Schedule your child’s sports physical ASAP at the Chippewa Hills Wellness Center! The fall sports season kicks off August 12 and all athletes must have a completed physical BEFORE they can begin practice. The CHWC gets VERY busy right before the start of season and August appointment availability is already limited. The Wellness Center’s team is encouraging parents to schedule sports physicals during July to help alleviate the August rush. ATTENTION ROCKET FOOTBALL & CHEER PARENTS: Sign up is next week and all 7th and 8th grade athletes MUST have a current physical in order to participate. Call 989-697-2290 to schedule your appointment!
