These are
challenging times for many people today -- in our country, in
our state and in our community -- and in our schools.
Nevertheless, we continue to work to fulfill our mission of
providing the best educational opportunities for all our
students.
We
are proud that our school district provides a variety of experiences for our
students from pre-K through 12 to educate the whole child and
help him or her succeed:
■ Along with the core curricular areas, CASD still offers
K-12 music and K-12 physical education.
■ As we
enter the new global economy, we are proud to be one of the few school districts
to offer K-12 Spanish.
■ We offer Band to our fifth grade students in order to expose
upper elementary students to music and
instrumentation to pique their interest.
■ We offer art courses at GMS and GHS.
■ With seven Advanced Placement courses at GHS, we offer more
advanced learning opportunities than most other Michigan
schools our size. These courses push students to higher levels
of learning and offer them the opportunity to earn college
credit while still in high school.
■ We offer four college courses at GHS during the regular school day during which students can
earn up to 33 credits because we recognize the
need for our students to obtain advanced education in today's
global economy.
■ We are proud that our students show a very high level of academic achievement
as demonstrated by MEAP scores.
I am
always available to talk with you, so feel free to contact me
with any questions.
