We are incredibly saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic passing of one of our beloved CHS students. Please keep the student’s family in your thoughts and prayers. CHS will have crisis counselors available for students and staff on Monday.

The Cleveland vs. Conroe Baseball game that was originally scheduled for tomorrow at 2pm will now start at 11am due to potential weather issues in the afternoon.

CHS Seniors and Parents - Financial Aid Day will be next Friday, April 26th! See flyers for more information. #FinancialAid #FAFSA #theClevelandISDway

Our friends over at The City of Cleveland have some great events coming up that we'd like to share! 1.) Clean Up Cleveland: April 27th 9am-12pm Stancil Expo Center 211 Peach St. Community Clean Up Event! Create a team or come alone, pick your favorite color shirt or design, and they will supply the rest. It's also a competition to have the most members be present at the event. They will have door prizes, serve lunch, and have a great time!! Deadline to Register: April 19th. Flyer and form attached. 2.) Summer Youth Sports Camp: June 3rd 9am-4pm Samuel Wiley Park 1030 Green St. Pre-registrations are starting to take place now at different locations! This is a great camp, especially if parents are needing activities for their kids to do while they work. They will receive a camp T-shirt, snacks/lunch, and be able to learn skills. Ages 6-14. This is their first year partnering with Overtime Athletics, so they would love for it to be successful so that they can expand into other areas of Cleveland with more coaches and resources for our area. Overtime athletics is affiliated with NFL Flag Sports! Flyers attached!

Congratulations to the 16 CHS staff members who successfully completed Days 1-5 of the CBLI Academy this year. It was a year long commitment to complete this training and the Multilingual Dept is so proud of CHS who had the highest number of successfully completed out of all secondary campuses. A huge thank you to the CHS admin team for making this a priority for their campus! Please join the Multilingual Dept in congratulating them on a year long commitment to learning effective EB strategies! Additionally, CHS was 1 out of 2 campuses in CISD who was awarded a cooler by Summit K12 for Literacy student engagement in the month of January. Thank you CHS teachers for supporting the growth of our EB learners through this instructional platform and to the admin team for supporting our staff in this initiative. Congratulations to CHS!!

Due to the power outage at the C9 campus, the district has made the decision to close C9 for the remainder of the day. Parents of car riders may pick up their students at the Cleveland High School campus. Car riders will remain at CHS until they are able to be picked up. Bus riders will be dropped off at their normal bus stops beginning at 11:00AM.

C9 Families - The power situation is being assessed at the C9 campus. If power is not restored by 8AM, C9 students will be transported to the CHS gym for holding. We will continue to update C9 families throughout the morning.

It is not just "an eclipse", this will be "THE ECLIPSE" for Texas. Cleveland ISD has decided to close for Monday, April 8th to allow students and staff time to be home with family & friends to experience this once in a lifetime learning opportunity event to make memories, take pictures, make videos together. The next eclipse is not until 2044 and it will be nowhere near Texas. Please remember to follow the recommended safety protocols for properly viewing the solar eclipse. We will see all students and staff back on Tuesday, April 9th. (https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/)

For the safety and wellbeing of all students, Cleveland ISD students will not be allowed to leave their classroom or facility to view the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th.

CISD Parents - The district is aware of the recent concerning behavior in other Houston-area school districts regarding students ingesting THC-infused gummies. THC is the psychoactive substance found in marijuana.  Substances containing THC - such as CBD gummies, Delta 8, and herbal supplements - may be legally purchased by those 18 years of age and older, however, these substances ARE NOT regulated by the FDA. This means that what is listed on the package is not verified by dose, strength, or additional substances. The concentration and strength of THC in these edible products are very difficult to measure and are often unknown.  Those who have consumed cannabis edibles may: Act lethargic. Feel dizzy. Have trouble walking or sitting up. Have an accelerated heart rate. Have trouble breathing. We would like for everyone to be aware that even “legal” substances can still bring harm. In the cases of student hospitalizations at other districts, it is suspected there were additional substances in these gummies. Fentanyl and other illegal substances have been found in these products. Please talk to your students about the dangers of drugs, edibles, and other assumed “natural” supplements. We want you to know that we will continue with our efforts to ensure every campus is safe for our students.   LEGAL DOES NOT MEAN SAFE!

CHS competed at the district level in SkillsUSA this past weekend in Beaumont, Texas. CHS received 19 Gold Medals, 19 Silver, and 9 Bronze. CHS finished 4th overall in the medal count. We went up against other schools such as Bryan Rudder, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and Magnolia West, Porter, Groverton, New Caney, Grand Oaks, Conroe, Splendora, to name a few. We will post what we have that show what our outstanding CTE teachers and students have accomplished!!

CHS is proud to announce the first annual History Fair!

CISD is recognized as a "Best of the Bunch" Farm Fresh Challenge Winner by the Texas Department of Agriculture! This recognition demonstrates our commitment to operating an excellent nutrition program that inspires new attitudes about good nutrition and healthy lifestyles!
