This week we are proud to recognize Tiffiny Sidwell, one of our outstanding high school secretaries who truly does it all. Tiffiny helps keep our building running smoothly every day, supports students and staff with a smile, helps coordinate drivers’ education, coaches JH volleyball, and even steps in as a substitute bus driver when needed!

Her versatility, dedication, and willingness to help anywhere in the district make her an invaluable part of Caldwell Schools. Thank you, Tiffiny, for everything you do for our students, families, and community!

Community Use of the Track

We are happy to welcome our community to use the track at the Tribe Athletic Complex for walking or running!

The walk-in entrance is near the main gate in the parking lot, and the track is open for personal use anytime it’s not being used by the school (for example, during track practice or scheduled events).

Please remember that any use of the turf field must be coordinated through Caldwell Athletics Director, Chance Rucker, and pets are not permitted on the track or turf areas. (The turf surface can’t handle pet waste, so we appreciate your cooperation!)

We are excited to see families and neighbors staying active and enjoying this beautiful facility!

This week we’re excited to recognize Mrs. Katrina Baker, our amazing Career Technical Education teacher at Caldwell Junior High!

Mrs. Baker’s students are constantly learning through hands-on, real-world projects that include designing and coding robots, exploring agriculture, food science, and 3D modeling. One of her newest and most popular courses, Medical Detectives, gives students the chance to step into the role of healthcare professionals. They have learned how to take vitals, diagnose diseases, and even tested antibiotics on bacteria samples to determine the best treatment.

She also goes the extra mile to share these great experiences with families through her CTE Classroom Newsletter, which showcases the excitement and innovation happening in her classroom every day.

Thank you, Mrs. Baker, for your creativity, dedication, and passion for helping students discover their future careers

This week we are proud to recognize Andrea Raines, one of our outstanding Agriscience teachers at CHS! She brings learning to life every day from organizing student work experiences at the local dog shelter, to teaching anatomy with her own horses, to guiding students through hands-on lessons like dissecting beef hearts to better understand animal science.
She’s also an active leader in our FFA chapter and will be heading to the National FFA Convention next week with her students and the rest of the FFA chapter! Just another example of her dedication to creating meaningful learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
Thank you, Mrs. Raines, for your passion, innovation, and the countless hours you invest in our students!

This week at the county fair, several of our students — along with students from neighboring districts — showcased their animals and put in countless hours of hard work, dedication, and care. Raising, training, and presenting livestock is no small feat, and we are so proud of their efforts and accomplishments.

Congratulations to all of our young exhibitors for representing themselves, their families, and our district with such commitment and pride!
