We are proud of the Pirates basketball team on a great season. Tonight, they fell to Casey-Westfield 50-45 in the Regional championship. Thanks to the seniors for their commitment to the team and representing Cumberland well.
Our elementary and middle school students had a blast visiting the FFA Petting Zoo today. There’s nothing quite like seeing those smiles when they get to meet a new furry or feathered friend!










Mrs. Kristie Thomas and the Foods II students would like to thank Maple Ridge Pest Solutions, owned by Derek and Katy Light, for the generous donation of strawberries to our classes. The Lights purchased the boxes of fresh Florida berries from the FFA fundraiser. Students made strawberry shortcakes containing sweet white cakes, sweetened strawberries, and homemade whipped cream. They were a treat! 🍓










Good luck to the varsity boys basketball team as they take on Casey-Westfield in the IHSA Regional Championship game tonight at Casey! Tipoff is 7 PM. Go Pirates! 🏴☠️

The Cumberland High School Community Living/Service Class recently spent time learning about the important role libraries play in our communities. As part of this experience, students visited the Effingham Public Library, as well as libraries in Toledo and Greenup.
During their visit to the Effingham Public Library, the students got to make a little pipe cleaner buddy and take a ride in an elevator. The students not only explored the many resources libraries offer, but also gave back! They created handmade bookmarks and assembled personal hygiene bags to leave for library visitors in need.
We are so proud of our students for showing kindness, generosity, and community spirit. Thank you to our local libraries for welcoming our class and for all you do to serve our communities!
