Agricultural Education students at Central Lee high school learn important aspects of plant science while enrolled in Ag-Ed courses. (L-R) Sydnie Larson and Kylie Fortune dissect a flower to explore and name parts of a flower. The hands-on learning brings the classroom to life and makes learning fun. #CTEworksforCL
During Teacher Appreciation Week, we have an opportunity to thank the teachers who make such an amazing impact on our students, families, and community.
This week, take a moment to thank a teacher for all they do. Let’s make sure they know how much we appreciate them! 🌟
Little Hawks Preschoolers learned about the process of making ice cream. Andrea Benner from local business, Hinterland Dairy, read students a story and modeled the steps so the students could make their own ice cream. Students may have had to wait several hours to eat it, which was difficult, but definitely worth the wait! Thanks for the partnership, Hinterland Dairy!
What a great day yesterday. With the early out at noon, Hawk Place took advantage of the longer afternoon, traveling by bus to Galesburg to visit the Discovery Depot Children's Museum, Train Museum, Coney Island 100 year old diner, and ending the day with a train ride back to Ft Madison Depot where they met their parents, eagerly awaiting their arrival. We are so proud of the way these kids represented Central Lee. Many compliments from the different places were expressed how well they behaved and cleaned up after themselves. At the end of the day we were met by another Central Lee Alumni - Amtrak Amy (Case/ Lambert) who helped organize the event. Thank you Amy! It was a great day and the smiles on the faces say it all. ( I wish I would have taken a picture of the excitement as we pulled into the depot and they saw their parents out the window). Perfect ending to a prefect trip!
This afternoon, CLHS will host the annual High School Music Awards/Concert, from 12:30 to 1:30pm. Congrats on another great year of performances! 🎶🎙️
3rd Graders spent the day in Nauvoo, Illinois as part of their learning about westward expansion. Students were immersed in pioneer methods of doing many things.

3 students from Central Lee High School have been selected to present their science research projects at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Dallas, Texas May 15-19. Junior Sidney Gruntmeir (Amy & Brian Guntmeir), Senior Jacob Hohl (Adam & Julie Hohl) and Senior Everlee Harvey (Tonya & Leonard Harvey). These students are 3 of the 12 students that have been selected to represent Iowa out of the 1800 students from 63 countries that will be competing at the International Science and Engineering Fair this year. Alexa Groff, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Coordinator for STEM and the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa Director, came to CLHS today to present official banners to the 3 student finalists headed to ISEF next week. These banners will be hung in the school to commemorate this huge accomplishment. Congratulations and Good luck to Sidney, Everelee and Jacob as they compete at ISEF 2023!
Mrs. Heather Madsen takes her classes outside each spring to play drums called tubanos. In the drum circle students practice rhythms through echo or question and answer. They also build skills of communication, listening, and cooperative teamwork through this experience.
Each May, Mrs. Wells goes to the 5th grade classrooms to help prepare them for middle school. One lesson is teaching them how to open a combination lock, which is a main stressor for kids going into middle school. This year, three 6th grades leaders helped the 5th graders learn and gain confidence in opening the locks. They were a great help!
Get a team together for a FUN night of Trivia on May 13, and help support our Future Problem Solvers International Trip!! See the Flyer for details. Contact Mrs. Ensminger to sign up a team or more information.
Our older Hawk Place students have enjoyed learning about Lego robotics with the help of instructor Amy Fraise once a week this past year. The finish of this enrichment program students took the students to the Lee County Economic Development building in Montrose to learn about robotics from Lee County Robotics Team, Lc3 Thunderbirds, comprised of students from Keokuk, Fort Madison, and Central Lee high schools. This was a unique field trip as the 4th and 5th graders learned from some of the Central Lee high school students. Thank you to the Robotics coaches and team for having us.
Congratulations to the 2023 Central Lee High School Prom King Trevor Edwards & Prom Queen Addy Brumble.

Middle School spent last Friday afternoon giving back to our community. They participated in a variety of projects and places--Bingo with Montrose Health Care and River Hills residents, community clean up projects in Keokuk, Donnellson, Montrose, Appleberry Orchard, and at school.

We are so proud of our students, staff and parents who helped make this day a success!!
