Principal's Message

Welcome to Crater High School, a place where possibilities abound and dreams take flight! We are proud to serve as the bridge between the exceptional K-8 education provided by School District #6 schools and the limitless opportunities that lie ahead in each student's journey.

Here at Crater High, we are committed to nurturing not just academic excellence, but also the development of well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills, experiences, and character needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Our Freshman Foundation and Pathways programs are at the heart of this mission, designed to provide an education that goes beyond textbooks and classrooms.

Through experiential learning, hands-on projects, and character-building activities, we instill in our students a deep love of learning and a sense of purpose that extends far beyond graduation. Our Pathways program offers students the chance to explore their interests and passions, while also gaining valuable skills and experiences that will set them apart in the competitive landscape of higher education and the workforce.

We understand the importance of flexibility and choice in education, which is why we emphasize both at Crater High. We recognize that students may change interests multiple times throughout their lives, and our goal is to provide a broad range of opportunities that allow them to explore, discover, and grow. Whether it's pursuing certifications, earning college credits, engaging in hands-on training, or participating in internships, our students have the freedom to tailor their education to suit their unique goals and aspirations.

As principal, I am committed to ensuring that every student who walks through our doors leaves with not only a diploma, but also a portfolio of skills, interests, and connections that will serve them well in whatever path they choose to pursue. Together, let us embark on this journey of discovery and possibility, knowing that the future is bright for every Crater High School student.

Best regards
Scott Dippel
