Dear CEC MS Parents,
We are planning to provide information and resources on the topic of self-harm to students during the week of March 21st. Although this is a difficult topic, unfortunately it is quite prevalent amongst adolescents in our country.
If you do not want your child to participate in this discussion at school, please contact Mr. Holt or Mrs. Hockman by March 11th, 2022.
All CEC students and parents are invited to a panel discussion with experts as well as personal stories on Tuesday, March 8th, at 6:30pm in the High School Auditorium.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in us.

Talk about "EARLY COLLEGE" - Last month six students in grades 6-12 went to the UNC Math Contest final round! They spent nearly a full day on the UNC campus, meeting the top math students in Colorado, having lunch in the dining hall, listening to a presentation about solving problems on the national AIME Contest, and taking very tough a 3-hour math contest! Students were so glad they could have an "in person" event this year and network with their mathy peers from throughout the state! What a fun day!
