Shoutout to our CMS Digital Media students for attending Griffin Communications on Wednesday, March 11, 2026! They had the opportunity to tour Channel 6 News and visit several radio stations. It was a great learning experience for all students.

Shoutout to our LEAD OK students for helping at the Herald Hustle event at Herald Elementary on Friday, March 13, 2026! They used their leadership skills to support younger students in our district by helping with the color stations and keeping the fun going for everyone. We are proud of the way they represented CMS!

Tuesday, March 10th, our CMS Choir represented Collinsville well at the OSSAA District Contest! Both the Mixed Voice and Treble Voice Choir earned a Superior rating from all three concert judges and also received a Superior rating from their sight-reading judge!

When a choir earns a Superior rating in both concert and sight-reading, they receive the Outstanding Achievement Award — and both choirs earned this honor!

Way to go, CMS Choir! We are so proud of you!

We hope everyone had a great Spring Break and had time to relax. We are excited to be back at school and enjoying the warm spring weather. Let’s have a great rest of the week!

It’s good to be a Cardinal!
