We are thrilled to announce that Cottonwood Classical has been ranked the #136 HS in the NATION by US News!

This incredible achievement belongs to every single person in our communityโ€”our dedicated middle and high school students who show up ready to learn every day, our exceptional middle and high school teachers who pour their hearts into their work, our supportive staff who keep everything running smoothly, and our families who partner with us in education.

This ranking isn't just a numberโ€”it's a reflection of the culture we've built together. Thank you all, we celebrate this together!

FROM OUR PTO:

Please join us for an evening where parents and teachers/staff can learn from charter school leaders about how most spotlight schools, including many charters ended up losing state money for this school year. We'll write letters (emails and postcards) to various key legislators (both "thanks for your support" letters and "please reconsider your position" letters), and dinner will be provided.

It will be on Monday Oct 20th, 6pm, at CCPS with pizza. It is open to parents and teachers/staff from all charter schools and we'd love to have as many CCPS parents as possible attend this event!

This summer, Braeden interned in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he led a research project on U.S. railway infrastructure and met with national leaders. His journey began at CCPS as a co-founder of our Youth and Government delegation. Heโ€™s was entrusted to manage the D.C. office throughout August, overseeing Capitol tours and House operations for the entire state of Alaska! Way to represent, Braeden!
