Colonial High School Families,
It was another great week at Colonial! Thank you to the students, staff, families, and community partners who continue to support our Grenadiers.
A special thank you to our staff, community partners, JROTC cadets, and hospitality students who made Senior Night a tremendous success, with more than 212 attendees. We appreciate your commitment to helping our seniors prepare for their future.
Families should mark their calendars for the NACAC National College Fair on October 4 at the Orange County Convention Center. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore college options and connect with admissions representatives from across the country.
Beginning September 29, OCPS families will have the opportunity to participate in the Fall 2026 Stakeholder Survey. Your feedback is important and helps us ensure that our school continues to meet the needs of our students and families. Please watch for a ParentSquare message with the survey link and take a few moments to share your honest feedback. The survey is anonymous and will remain open through October 13.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. It's Great to Be a Grenadier!
