A Message From Mr. Matthew Stewart, CSPA & CSAMS Principal

Dear Sentinel Families,  

I hope that the mild temperatures are treating your families kindly.  For those of us who are winter sport enthusiasts, these warmer conditions are bittersweet.  

As we move into our fourth week of Semester 2, your student should be settling into the Semester 2 schedule.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the wrap up of Semester 1 and the beginning of Semester 2, please reach out.  I would relish the opportunity to connect with you about your child’s educational experience.  

Tonight, all of our HS basketball teams (JV and Varsity Boys, Varsity Girls) will be playing Livonia Clarenceville at home. Tonight is also Senior Night and I am told the Cheerleaders have been working hard on a new routine for our CSPA Fans in the stands. Congratulations to our Senior athletes being honored tonight during those festivities.  

Finally, part of the Whole Child construct is the social/emotional tenet. Our second social dance of the year, CSPA’s Snowcoming, is this Saturday.  We look forward to celebrating with our students on Saturday night with an opportunity for socialization.  I hope everyone enjoys the short week from our President’s Day celebration!

In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart

CSPA Commitment to Excellence Includes Community Service


CSPA High School students are required to perform 50 hours of community service/volunteerism as a graduation requirement. Community service credit will be given for voluntary activities that help others or are beneficial to the community. Students earn credit for hours spent participating in the actual activity, not for meeting and planning time. Students are responsible for getting a Community Service Sponsor Sheet signed and dated for each activity.

Life After CSPA: Preparing for College & Career


Preparation is embedded in the Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy name. That preparation is grounded in the belief that people who are capable, caring, and self- directed learners will be successful in life no matter what they choose to do after they leave High School. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and we are committed to providing students with the skills they need for work and life. 

We have created a permanent link to post-secondary resources that will appear at the bottom of this and all CSPA newsletters. Additionally, we have included a link for active scholarship opportunities. Visit these resources often to find helpful links and opportunities for all students, regardless of their post-CSPA plans.
