This morning, a kindergarten student brought a training device to school. The device is non-functional, it cannot fire, cannot accept ammunition, and has no working trigger mechanism.
CISD staff acted immediately upon discovery. The situation was quickly contained, and all appropriate procedures were followed. At no time were students or staff in danger.
Support and resources were provided to the students involved, and families were notified in accordance with district protocols.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We appreciate the vigilance of our campus personnel and the continued partnership of our families as we work together to maintain a secure learning environment.

‼️In class we’ve been learning about different types of cows, milking vs. meat-producing breeds, and the many variations within each, so this tour really brought everything to life. We were able to see robotic milking in action, T & K Dairy was the first dairy not only in our area, but even across other states to use this technology.
Students also got to pet cows and even touch newborn heifers. It was an incredible, hands-on experience that helped us understand exactly where our milk and dairy products come from.
🙏A huge thank-you to the Collier family for welcoming us and giving us such a memorable visit!

Colorado ISD Announces Interim CHS Principal
Colorado ISD is pleased to announce that Rebecca Russell will serve as the Interim Principal of Colorado High School, effective January 6, 2026, and will remain in this role until the district completes the search for a permanent CHS Principal.
Ms. Russell is no stranger to Colorado High School or to the Colorado ISD community. She previously served as CHS Principal before transitioning into her current role as P-TECH/P-20/CTE Director, where she has continued to strengthen college, career, and workforce pathways for students across the district.
During her tenure as CHS Principal, the campus earned an A rating, a testament to her strong leadership, creativity, high expectations, and unwavering belief in students and staff. Returning to CHS, Ms. Russell is committed to ensuring that academic excellence, strong systems, and a positive school culture remain top priorities.
“We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Russell’s willingness to step into this role,” said Colorado ISD Superintendent Dr. Larry Polk. “Her experience, her deep relationships within CHS, and her track record of success make her the right leader to guide the campus during this transition. We thank Mr. Komppa for his service to CHS and wish him the very best as he moves toward his future goals.”
Colorado ISD looks forward to supporting Ms. Russell as she transitions into the interim principalship and continues her work on behalf of CHS students, staff, and families.
