What makes Cassadaga Valley exceptional? Our Life-Ready Initiative. We aren’t simply preparing students to graduate. We’re preparing them to THRIVE by 25. Our goal is simple: every graduate leaves with a plan, a purpose and a pathway toward a successful future.

A big thank you and shout-out to our SES maintenance team, Chad Jaquith and Tracy VanVolkenburg, for the hard work they put in this week installing electricity in the SES blue maintenance garage!
We also want to give a huge thank you to Dora Clutter and our summer student workers for all of their hard work cleaning, preparing, and helping make the inside of SES look absolutely beautiful! Their attention to detail and effort have made a tremendous difference as we get ready to welcome our students and staff back.
Finally, a special thank you to our secretarial staff for all of the behind-the-scenes work they have been doing to prepare for the start of the school year. From answering questions and organizing information to helping families and staff, their hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated!
We truly appreciate everyone who has worked behind the scenes this summer to get SES ready for another great school year. Your hard work, dedication, and pride in our school do not go unnoticed! ❤️💙

We were proud to recognize an exciting moment in student leadership at our August 12 Board of Education meeting as we officially welcomed our Student Board Member, Gabrielle Cunningham, and Alternate Student Board Member, Aubi Farmer.
Both students took the Oath of Office, marking the beginning of their service and an important opportunity to bring the student voice to our Board of Education. We are grateful for their willingness to step forward, represent their fellow students, and take on this meaningful responsibility.
Student participation in school governance provides a valuable perspective and reminds us that our students are at the heart of every decision we make. We look forward to hearing their ideas, perspectives, and experiences throughout the coming school year.
Congratulations to our Student Board Members! We are excited to have you serving as an important voice for our students.

Our amazing transportation team hosted this summer’s driver education class at the bus garage, yesterday, for additional training on sharing the roadways with the yellow school bus! Students learned about stopping distance around the bus while students are loading and unloading, the danger zone, divided highways and bus stop laws. They were even able to practice at mock bus stops for first hand experience as motorists!
Regents Review and Exam Dates! Please call the MHS office (716) 962-8581 or bus garage (716) 962-5185 if you need a ride to school on any of these days. If you have any questions, please contact the MHS office.
