🚍 Daily Shuttle Bus Service 🚍
Did you know? We offer shuttle buses every day to help middle school and high school students get to and from the secondary site!
Please be ready at your stop by the following times if your student needs a ride:
• Barryton Elementary – 7:35 AM
• Mecosta Elementary – 7:35 AM
• Weidman Elementary – 7:30 AM
Shuttles run from each elementary school to the Middle School/High School in the morning and return students back to the elementary sites right after school each day.
⏰ Warriors—please arrive on time! The shuttles must leave promptly to keep everyone on schedule—especially once winter weather arrives.

Show your school spirit every Friday! Wear your Warriors gear or school colors and celebrate being part of our amazing Chippewa Hills community.
Let’s fill the halls with Warrior pride every Friday! ❤️💙

Our secretaries represented CHHS with pride on the first day in their matching shirts—and they keep things running smoothly every single day. We couldn’t do it without them!

We’re excited to share that for the 2025–26 school year, every student will have the opportunity to enjoy free breakfast and lunch at school. This ensures all our Warriors are fueled for learning and success each day. ❤️💙

School starts tomorrow — and we’re excited to kick off a brand-new year of learning and growth!

Warriors, a quick reminder that our High School is a cell phone free zone during class time.
✅ Phones may only be used during lunch and passing time.
✅ During class, phones should be silenced and stored in lockers.
This policy helps keep classrooms focused and distraction-free so everyone can get the most out of their learning time.
Thank you for helping make CHHS a positive learning environment!
