Over the last few weeks our students have put on amazing holiday shows. On December 11th the the Meistersingers and the Music Department presented a new look Carol Service and Winter Celebration of Music. It was a fantastic show and it was great to also see all of the former Meistersingers join our current students in a performance. The band and orchestra performed to perfection and the audience had a great time. A special thank you to Roland Holmes, Vocal Director, Gabriel Hughes, Instrumental Director, Andrew Meehan, Orchestra Director and Rita Tingle-Lewis, Vocal Director.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Bah Humbug! They put on two fantastic shows last week. Under the direction of Mr. DiGuiseppe, students welcomed the holiday season with a true "timeless" classic. The production was filled with lavish Victorian costumes, an amazing holiday trimmed set, and lilting familiar carols. All who attended were put you in the holiday "spirit".

Please see some of pictures and videos from the performance.

Good Morning CAIHS Families,

Last week all families for the Coatesville Area School District in grades 6 through 12 received notification from transportation that their morning bus schedules will change after the holiday break. On Monday, January 3, 2022, we will be eliminating transfer buses for morning bus runs for grades 6 - 12.

We’re hopeful that this change will also mean that all of our buses across all grades are more likely to run on time. However, it’s important to remember that we are still experiencing a nationwide bus driver shortage, made worse by pandemic quarantines. This does have a significant impact on our local bus schedules.

During the first two weeks of the new bus schedules, January 3 through 17, we do expect morning delays as everyone adapts to new schedules and even some new bus stops that are necessary because of the changes. We appreciate the patience of our students and parents. Public students may access new bus schedules in our Home Access Center, while non-public and charter students should contact their school. You may also contact transportation at: 610-466-2400, Option 2 or schoolbus@casdschools.org with questions.

Please check your email, mailbox and the Home Access Center to get your new morning bus schedule!

Please remember that all students start First Period at 7:25 and students that enter the building after that are marked late. Parents please make sure that you are dropping off your students before 7:25.

This week's prize winners were Nyeem Armstrong, Ryan Wagner, Lynsay Borges, Emily Harris, and Ja'Mar McCain. Keep up the great work everyone! We will pull our monthly winners on Wednesday!
