Work-Based Learning (WBL) combines classroom instruction with hands-on work experience directly related to your area of study. By integrating academics with real-world practice, WBL helps students enhance their knowledge, develop personally, and prepare for their future careers.

Interested? Reach out to your counselor or our Work-Based Learning Coordinator, Mr. Behrenwald, for more information. You can also check out the FAQ below to learn more!

Our goal is to have 50% of our seniors engaged in WBL opportunities. Don’t miss this chance to gain valuable experience and set yourself up for success!

Join us for a festive evening on Tuesday, December 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the front foyer across from the auditorium during the home varsity boys' basketball game.

Here’s what’s in store for the evening:

• Cookies and Juice 🍪

• Photos with Santa 🎅 (plus a candy cane treat!)

• Letter Writing to Santa ✉️

• Ornament Making 🎨 (take your creation home!)

Cost: $5 per child or $20 per family. All proceeds will support the CSHS Leadership students as they fundraise for the state conference in February.

We can’t wait to see you there for this special holiday event!

This holiday season, Cedar Springs Public Schools warmly invites you to be part of our beloved tradition: Winter Wishes for Red Hawks. Since 1995, this program has brought joy and comfort to students in our district, honoring the legacy of Sandy Samsel, who dedicated herself to making the holidays brighter for our Red Hawks.

How You Can Help:
Your generous donations ensure every Red Hawk receives a special gift this holiday season. There are several ways you can support this program:

• Select an item from our wish list – find specific items that students need and will enjoy!

• Make a donation – even a few dollars can make a big impact.

• Choose from our giving tree – pick a tag and fulfill a student’s holiday wish.

• Sponsor a student or family – provide direct support to make the holidays magical for our Cedar Springs families.

Every Gift Counts!
Whether big or small, every contribution helps us bring smiles to students’ faces and fill their hearts with warmth.

Students can drop in for tutoring on any subject, with no sign-up needed! Study tables are available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:25 to 3:30 p.m. This is a great time to study, finish homework, or makeup tests and quizzes (if arranged with a teacher).
