I wasn't there when Haga took the wrestling team to state and won all of those titles.
I wasn't there when Loftus took the cross country team to state and won all of those titles.
I wasn't there when the Lady Comets won a state title in basketball for the first time in school history.
I have never won a state title - not one.
But I was there on opening night when Crater Theater Arts unleashed their version of The Addams Family and it was masterful! Masterly acting, masterly costuming, masterly choreography, masterly set design - superlatives just don't do it justice.
If there is a state competition in theater, then Rebecca took Crater's cast and crew and won it last Friday night!

Chef Chef is known around the valley for his amazing BBQ Sauce and food. Their bottler went out of business and for the last handful of years he was unable to produce BBQ Sauce to sell. This year Chef Jeff bottles his amazing BBQ Sauce at CraterWorks and has plenty for sale!
"We are absolutely delighted with our relationship with CraterWorks," says Chef Jeff.

CPSD6 has made a deliberate, long-term commitment to multilingual education. In 2013, the district launched its Two-Way Immersion (TWI) program grounded in a simple belief: language is not a barrier to overcome, but an asset to be nurtured. More than a decade later, that commitment has grown into a full K–12 pathway—one designed to support students academically, culturally, and socially from their earliest school years through graduation.
A Pathway Built to Last in Central Point
In Jackson County, Central Point School District serves just under 5,000 students, representing a community rich in language, culture, and lived experience. Across the district, students speak 20 languages, and classrooms reflect a wide range of identities and learning journeys.
It is within this context that Central Point made a deliberate, long-term commitment to multilingual education. In 2013, the district launched its Two-Way Immersion (TWI) program grounded in a simple belief: language is not a barrier to overcome, but an asset to be nurtured.
More than a decade later, that commitment has grown into a full K–12 pathway—one designed to support students academically, culturally, and socially from their earliest school years through graduation.Central Point remains the only district in the region offering a dual-language pathway that spans kindergarten through high school, with its first graduating cohort set for spring 2026.
As the district prepares to celebrate this milestone, Title III and Two-Way Immersion Coordinator Tess Siemer and district leaders remain focused on what comes next—deepening impact, strengthening pathways beyond high school, and continuing to center student experience in every decision so that language, belonging, and opportunity remain at the heart of the system.
