AP Award

Coldwater High School has earned the College Board AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science Principles. Schools honored with an AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have expanded access to AP computer sciences courses for females in their community. Awardees must either have reached 50% or higher female representation in AP computer science courses or have achieved a percentage of female computer science exam takers that meets or exceeds that of the school's female population. Coldwater High School was one of only 847 intuitions recognized for improving female representation in AP CSP.

Early College Program

Attention 10th Grade students! Are you interested in taking college classes while still in high school? The Early College program offers an exciting opportunity for you to take college-level courses at no cost to you - Coldwater High School covers the cost of tuition! Plus, you have an option to complete a 13th year of high school (where you'll enroll in a full year of college credits) giving you a head start on your degree and saving you thousands of dollars in tuition. Want to learn more? Sign up for an informational meeting on January 30th or February 3rd. The sign-up sheet, along with the Early College application flyer, are outside of the counseling office. If you have questions, please contact Alex Milton, Early College Coordinator.

A Safe and Secure Environment

We continue to work on creating an academic environment where every student feels safe and supported at Coldwater High School. We have had nearly half as many fights at Coldwater High School this year as compare to last year at this time. For the 2023/2024 school year there were 53 student fights. For first semester this year, there have been 26. We still have more work to do, as one fight is one too many. However, it is nice to see this reduction.

Scheduling for 2025-2026

At the end of this month, students will start to make schedules for the 2025-2026 school year. Please pay attention to any emails from CHS and CHS counselors regarding this process. All students will have a course request sheet to be signed by parents.

Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

Law Enforcement Appreciation Day was January 9, 2025. We appreciate Coldwater Police Department officer Robin Swartz making every day safer and brighter. Office Swartz has been the school resource officer at Coldwater High School for four years now! Officer Swartz collaborates with administrators, teachers, students and parents supporting a safe and welcoming environment.

Cardinal Week

Cardinal Week is January 20 - 24. The week starts with hall decorating Monday afternoon, as there is no school for students on Monday. Theme days follow Tuesday through Friday with a Glow Dance after the basketball game Friday evening. Have a spirited week!
