Principal’s Message
Greetings CINGHS Families,
As we enter our fifth week of school, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding work of our teachers. Their passion, creativity, and commitment to students create a learning environment where every child can grow and succeed. We are fortunate to have such dedicated educators leading the way at CINGHS.
This year also brings exciting new opportunities. Our Esports program is launching, providing students with the opportunity to engage in teamwork, strategy, and competition in a rapidly growing field. We are also proud to announce that our P-TECH program has launched a Teacher Pathway for Freshmen interested in pursuing a career in education. These students will begin their journey toward becoming teachers, with the opportunity to start college classes as early as this spring.
Our campus continues to thrive with girls’ volleyball underway, student clubs meeting, and academic opportunities expanding. It is inspiring to see our students explore their passions while building skills that will serve them well into the future.

A big thank you to all the families who have already paid the $40 supply fee. We are about halfway to our goal! Your support helps keep student projects exciting and prevents our teachers from having to spend their own money on classroom supplies. For those who still need to pay, you may do so through your student’s My School Bucks account or in the front office with exact change.
📊 Supply Fee Progress:
(We’re halfway there—let’s keep the momentum going!)
-
Snacks are available at lunch, and students may purchase them using their My School Bucks account.

A new state law prohibits the use of cell phones during the school day.
Thank you for your ongoing support. With our strong teachers, new opportunities, and student enthusiasm, this year is shaping up to be one of our best yet!
Warm regards,
Steven Zipkes
Principal, CINGHS
