Today, we celebrate and send off our wonderful Class of 2026. We are deeply proud of who you are and who you are becoming, and we feel so fortunate to have been part of your journey. Some of you have grown up with CWS since Early Childhood, while others joined us more recently, but every one of you has left a meaningful mark on this community.

CWHS has been shaped by your presence, your insights, your humor, and your hearts. Congratulations, seniors. We can’t wait to see where you go from here!

What a lovely way to bring the school year to a close! This morning’s Rose Ceremony was a beautiful full-circle moment. Just nine months ago, our seniors welcomed the first graders with roses, and today those same first graders offered roses back in farewell.

We were also treated to wonderful performances from several classes. With graduation tomorrow, it was a truly meaningful moment to spend our final day of school together! 🌹

It’s Electives Week at CWHS! During the final week of school, high school students have the chance to explore new subjects, skills, and experiences outside their usual rhythm. Yesterday, many students spent the morning with Señora Agüero learning about culinary arts through food and culture.

Monday’s focus was Mexico, today students will explore Spain, and tomorrow will feature “arepas” from Venezuela and Colombia.

A little preview of the amazing color prints created by our 9th grade during their printmaking block!

Students began with self-portraits before exploring the four elements through original print designs. After first creating black-and-white pieces, they moved into experimental color printing using varied inks and papers, and even recycled magazine pages.
