Attention, Warrior families: This morning, our fire alarms were activated at the secondary complex due to a science experiment that didn’t quite go as planned. Everyone is safe, and the situation was handled swiftly.
We’re taking this opportunity to applaud our students and staff for their quick and calm response during the fire drill. Great job, Warriors!

🐑✨ Exciting News from the Ag Barn! ✨🐑
We are thrilled to announce that we now have sheep in our Ag Barn! Thanks to the generous help of Mr. Steve Beattie, a retired agriculture teacher from St. Louis, we’ve welcomed these wonderful ewes to our school. For years, Mr. Beattie has shared his sheep with schools like Alma, Breckenridge, and Ravenna to enhance Ag education, and we’re lucky to carry on this tradition!
Currently, Ms. Spry’s 8th grade agriculture students are diving into the world of sheep, learning all about nutrition, record keeping, and the care of these animals. Everyone is especially excited for the upcoming lambing season, which should be happening in just a week or two! 🐑💕
The sheep will be with us here at Chippewa Hills until spring break, after which they will return to Mr. Beattie’s farm.
A huge thank you to the FFA and FFA alumni for their help and support with this amazing hands-on learning opportunity!
REMINDER: Monday, January 20 is an early release day for students! The High School and Middle School will be released at 12 PM. Elementary Schools are released at 12:15 PM.
🛠️ Warrior students getting hands-on! 🛠️
Today, Mrs. Karcher’s Life After High School class got their hands a little greasy and learned the essential life skill of how to perform an oil change on a car. Senior Noah Morlan led the instruction, teaching his classmates how to change oil like a pro! 💪
A special thank you to Mr. Hatfield for letting the class use his shop and to senior Natalie Gibson for lending her car to the class. (It takes a true Warrior to trust your class with your ride!)
Next time that oil light comes on, we know who we’re calling! 🚗
