SENIOR: Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Ryan McGowan, Defensive Coordinator Matt Jemmett

THANK YOU to all our community coaches and Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Martyn and Mr. Gregoris for their passion in getting Ravens football back on its feet.

Thank you, coaches. Let's get to work.

NEW LOOK. SAME FLIGHT.

Thanks to the Ravens Flight Campaign, our players will take the field in 2026 in brand new blacked-out game uniforms and brand new Riddell SpeedFlex Echo helmets.

The helmets matter most. The SpeedFlex Echo is among the best-protected helmets available at the high school level, and every Raven will be wearing one. Player safety was the first line item in this campaign, not the last.

The uniforms? Those are just for looking good while we win.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

WE DID IT. 🖤❤️💛

The Ravens Flight Campaign hit its goal - Senior Ravens football is a GO for Fall 2026.

Tons of donations. Families, alumni, local businesses, staff and students. Every share, every dollar, every "how can I help?" got us here.

Thank you, Ravens community. You gave these kids a season. 🏈

Silver for Tom Lawson as Three Ravens Shine at Mountain Bike Nationals!

Congratulations to Tom Lawson, Luka Franks, and Grayson Franks on their performances at the 2026 Canadian Mountain Bike National Championships in Victoria, BC!

Competing on the demanding trails of Jordie Lunn Bike Park against Canada's top riders, the three Chippewa Ravens represented our school with determination and pride.

Tom Lawson earned a silver medal in the XCC (Short Track Cross Country) and followed it up with an outstanding 4th-place finish in the XCO (Cross Country Olympic).

Luka Franks delivered two strong, consistent races, finishing 10th in both the XCC and XCO.

Grayson Franks raced hard all weekend, placing 24th in the XCC and improving to 17th in the XCO.

Competing at the national level is an incredible achievement, and we couldn't be prouder of how these three Ravens represented Chippewa Secondary School on one of Canada's most challenging race courses.

Congratulations, Tom, Luka, and Grayson!
