As we prepare for Friday night's football game, we want to share a few important updates. First, we strongly encourage spectators to carpool whenever possible, as parking is very limited.

Secondly, temporary fencing has been installed around the entire perimeter of the football field to ensure the safety of students, staff, and spectators. Anyone who enters the field or crosses the fencing without authorization will be asked to leave the premises.

We have placed additional seating near the Rocket endzone and near the concession stands.

Please keep in mind:
Tickets are $8 and only VHSL Passes are accepted.
No pets are permitted at the game.
No smoking, vaping, or tobacco products of any kind are permitted on school grounds.
Children in elementary or middle school (grades PreK–7th) must enter with a parent or guardian and remain under their supervision throughout the game. Students will not be admitted without a parent or guardian.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation in maintaining a safe, respectful, and family-friendly environment.

Thank you.

A big shout-out to Erica Crabtree, our fantastic PE teacher! Ms. Crabtree is always willing to help wherever she’s needed and often offers help before anyone even has to ask. PE is hands down a student favorite, and it’s easy to see how much our students love Ms. Crabtree and her class.

Ms. Crabtree, we appreciate your kindness, generosity, and all you do for our school!

Today was such a fun day for both our students and staff! From Halloween fun and trick-or-treating for staff to our undercover spirit day and the Thriller flash mob, today was a great reminder of what makes our CCPS family so special!

A special shout-out to the following staff members who stepped up and helped make today a success:

👏 Mrs. Jessica Belcher — Thank you for gladly stepping in to serve lunch to our students when the cafeteria was short-staffed. Your willingness to jump in wherever needed is what teamwork is all about!

👏 Melinda Huffman and the Morale Mafia — Thank you for putting together the staff trick-or-treat scavenger hunt! Your creativity and efforts brought extra fun, laughter, and Halloween spirit to our schools today!

👏 Kellie Stevens — Thank you for organizing our undercover spirit day, challenging staff to dress like Michael Jackson, and coordinating the Thriller flash mob! Your creativity and willingness to bring fun and excitement to our schools made today extra special for both students and staff!

These are just a few examples of the amazing people we have at CCPS who are always willing to step up, pitch in, and go the extra mile for our students and one another.

It takes a special team to make the magic happen, and I am so thankful to work alongside people who make our schools a fun, supportive, and caring place to be! 💙💛

Thank you for all you do, CCPS!

SHOUT OUT to Miranda Reeder:

Thank you, Miranda Reeder, for creating an amazing experience for the third grade students with Market Day. All of the kids had a blast creating and "selling" their products. This was a fabulous project that allowed students to have hands-on experience in dealing with commerce and sales. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to make this happen!

Shout-Out to Dawn Cromwell:

Dawn may be the shortest one of us, but she sure doesn’t quit! The other night in McCleary, I offered her the opportunity to learn how to run the propane buffer. Let me tell you, that machine can kick your butt and throw you around if you’re not ready for it! Dawn wasn’t afraid to give it a try, took on the challenge, and did a fantastic job!

Thank you for all you do for CCPS!

🎄❤️ Craig County Community Christmas Needs YOU! ❤️🎄

This is our 5th year coordinating Christmas assistance for Craig County students in need, and this year is our biggest yet! We have 70 children that still need a sponsor.

Our goal is to help every child have a special Christmas with a comparable number of thoughtful gifts.

Here’s how you can help:

Sponsor a student: Approximately $200
Give what you can: Donate any dollar amount (cash or checks made out to Craig County High School) or purchase items from a child's wish list (item lists provided upon request)
Every contribution makes a difference, and you don't have to sponsor an entire student to help!

Please message us if you'd like to help make Christmas special for a Craig County student.

Share this post so we can reach as many people as we can. Thank you!
