Back to School Information

Good morning Cedar Springs High School students!

With no orientation for our returning 10-12 grade students, we wanted to make sure you had everything you needed to be ready for the first day!

Our school handbooks are available to view or download from our website. If you have any other questions, please reach out to our main office at hsofficeteam@csredhawks.org or 616-696-1200. We look forward to seeing all our students back on the first day of school, Wednesday, August 23!

Stay Up, have a blessed day, and go Cedar!
