Course registration for returning students next year will begin on February 4. Step-by-step information, timelines, and instructions to guide you through the registration process can be found at Course Selection and Resouces (2025-2026)
Students are advised to consult the Cambridge 2025-2026 Curriculum Guide to learn about their course selections for the upcoming academic year. Each student is responsible for thoroughly investigating and considering courses of interest.
Mid-Year Transcripts Available Today
Seniors who applied to a college through Common App required a mid-year transcript with semester 1 grades included. Counselors will upload their updated transcripts to Common App starting today. No action is required on your part, as Common App will flag colleges that need this information.
Seniors who need a transcript for a non-Common App college must request it starting today, the Scriborder. Select "Current Student" and complete the form. The college will receive the transcript electronically.
Cambridge Community
Community Event: Understanding Vape Culture
Cambridge High School is partnering with Pathways2Life to help parents understand today’s vaping culture and provide better support to teens as they navigate the challenging decisions they are facing. Through honest and relatable storytelling, P2L will shed light on the challenges many teens experience and highlight pathways to healing and resilience. This engaging presentation encourages open conversations about mental health and empowers both parents and students to seek support, connect with each other, and embrace their personal journeys.
We hope you can join us on January 16, 2025, at 6:00 pm. This is a community event, so please invite other parents to join.
Student Activities and Information
Important Parking Information
No Sophomores have a parking permit and should not be parking on campus. Only Juniors and Seniors with parking permits should be parking on campus. Students have paid for these spots and are the only ones that should be parking on campus. If someone does park in your spot, please take a picture of the car and the license plate and report it to the Bridge East Front Office. If you are caught parking without a permit, you will not get a parking spot next year. At this point in the school year, we have allowed all seniors a parking permit and juniors selected in the lottery the privilege to park on campus.
Lunch Privileges for Seniors
As soon as Cambridge receives Dual Enrollment class grades, the admin will run reports and schedule a date to hand out the stickers.
