Breaking Down Barriers to Academic Success in Northwest Michigan

The event, held last week at the school, was attended by Superintendent & Principal Dr. David Harwood, CIS Executive Director Amy Burk, students, CIS staff, school staff, and board members.
Serving over 1,600 students in Northwest Michigan, CIS surrounds K-12 pupils and families with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve.
