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

Dear Sentinel Families,

On behalf of the entire CSPA staff, I would like to wish you and your families a Happy New Year!  I am so excited for what lies ahead for our school community during 2026. Please save the date and consider attending our Triple S Boosters Hosted Euchre Tournament on Sunday, February 1, from 4:30 – 7:30 PM at Brewery Becker in downtown Brighton. Our January school calendar is packed with events supported by Triple S Boosters, from basketball, cheerleading and ski to the ramp up of our Gems Robotics season. We hope to see you at the Euchre Tournament, making fun memories in support of our students!

Final Exams are just a few weeks away. Please refer to the Upcoming Calendar of Events below for the final exams schedule that will bring our First Semester to a close on Friday, January 23rd. Remember, success lies at the intersection of opportunity and preparedness. This week provides that opportunity for our students! Please encourage your student to be prepared to wrap up Semester 1 victoriously!

Best of luck to all of our Sentinel students as Semester 1 finals are upon us. On behave of myself and the entire CSPA staff we look forward to our continued partnership with you and your student in the New Year!  

In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart

Student and Parent Volunteers Needed For Home Basketball Games!!

We need a lot of volunteers at our CSAMS and CSPA home games! The expectation is that all basketball players and all cheerleaders are represented by a volunteer during the season. Volunteers do not need to be parents. Feel free to recruit friends, grandparents or other family members, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS WHO NEED SERVICE HOURS.

-Typically all positions allow you to watch the game while working
-Training is provided when necessary
-Free admission and discounted concession food for volunteers

Sign up links are provided below. Please reach out to Heather Fuchs (Home Game Volunteer Coordinator & Concessions Manager  with any questions: thnxb2god9@gmail.com.

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.
