National Suicide Prevention Week | September 7–12

This week, we’re joining schools and communities across the country in recognizing National Suicide Prevention Week.

At Cumberland High School, we want every student to know that they matter, they are valued, and they are never alone. Sometimes, simply asking, “Are you okay?” and taking the time to listen can make a difference.

If you are struggling, please reach out to a trusted adult, teacher, counselor, friend, or family member. If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Let’s be the ones who check in, listen, speak up, and help.

Foods III students were excited to get back into the kitchen. In this student-led class, they get to give input on what recipes will be made throughout the semester. Students made fast-food French Fries as their first cooking experience this fall. These are made by cutting, boiling, and baking potatoes. The process was time consuming, but the end product was delicious and healthy!
