Cozad Middle School Students--Tourist Tuesday! Travel Through Life Drug FREE! Red Ribbon Week at CMS! #HayMakerWay
Cozad Community Schools is striving to become a better place every single day. Our focus continues to be constant improvement; to be better today than we were the day before. We are updating our facilities through a new bond project, solidifying our new leadership and staff, and dialing in our instructional practices to meet the needs of all learners. One of our goals moving forward is to accurately communicate our curriculum and instructional practices to our valued stakeholders. The links below are where you will find information regarding Cozad Community Schools' curriculum, specifically our new English Language Arts curriculum resource (CKLA) at the elementary school. This will be a resource for parents that will be purposefully updated. We want to offer full transparency to all.

Activities focused on college admission with guest speakers from area colleges. Work time was structured for essential items such as resumes, college applications, securing letters of recommendation, and preparing for scholarships on a local, state, and national level. We also took time to focus on our students who will be joining the military and/or workforce. These students had speakers and time to work on their resumes.
