Congratulations to our December Terrific Tigers!

REMINDER: We will dismiss early on Friday, December 20, 2024. Have a safe Winter Break!

UPDATE: Good evening. As you have likely heard by now, the precautionary boil water advisory due to the water main break has been lifted by the City of Cape Girardeau. Tests show that the water is clean and safe to drink. We will have the water fountains back open at school on Wednesday. To learn more, you can visit the City's website. Thank you for your time this evening and have a great night! -CGPS

🙌✨ We are excited to announce the Dr. Jon Johnson M.D. Memorial Fund, generously established by his brother Joseph to support Cape Central students! This annual donation honors the incredible legacy of Dr. Johnson, a 1975 Cape Central graduate, Salutatorian, and 12-year perfect attendance honoree. A dedicated student athlete who participated in football, basketball, and track while demonstrating the ability to excel in the classroom. Dr. Johnson embodied leadership, perseverance, and excellence. Dr. Jon Johnson M.D. Memorial Fund will provide ongoing support for student growth, education, and athletics, ensuring opportunities for future generations to thrive. We are deeply grateful to his brother Joseph for this thoughtful contribution that carries on Dr. Johnson's remarkable impact. 🧡🐅 Thank you, Joe for setting up this Endowment Fund that will live on past our generation and generations to come. 🙏✨" #WeAreCT #Dr.JonJohnsonLegacy #InspiringExcellence

UPDATE: December 9, 2024 - The City of Cape Girardeau has informed us that the water main has been fixed. We will still be under a precautionary boil water advisory on Tuesday. We have delivered bottled water to the buildings for drinking water and will continue to follow the recommended precautions provided by the City for breakfast and lunch preparation on Tuesday.

Monday, December 9, 2024 Good morning. The City of Cape Girardeau just issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the City due to a large water main break near the Cape Rock Water Plant. We wanted to let families know that we have closed the drinking fountains throughout the District and are in the process of delivering bottled water for drinking water. Our nutrition services staff members will follow the recommended precautions provided by the City for lunch preparation today. Additionally, the water main break may change a couple of our bus routes until it is fixed. Please be patient with us if buses are running a few minutes behind this afternoon. More information can be found on the City’s website under Latest News. We will continue to provide updates as we receive more information. Thank you for your time and have a great day! -CGPS
