Thank you to the CHS cross country team, our friends, and our amazing parents for the extra support! Go Tigers!







We are so grateful for our principal, Mrs. Jordan Raettig. Her dedication, leadership, and care for our students and staff make our school a better place each day.
Thank you, Mrs. Raettig, for all that you do for us! We appreciate you!
A special thank you to our FCA for gifting Mrs. Raettig a basket full of goodies.


Students will deliver the shirts/sweatshirts or they can be picked up in the CMS front office! Every purchase makes a difference-let’s help our students explore, learn, and grow! Thank you for your support!





Once again, Commerce Middle School is proud to partner with DAV to honor and support our nation’s veterans. We will be planting a Field of Flags in front of our school, with each flag representing one veteran and our unwavering commitment to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
The Field of Flags not only honors local heroes but also raises critical funds to support DAV’s life-changing services for ill and injured veterans and their families.
Last summer, our efforts were even recognized in a national publication for the impact we made on one of our own community veterans.
We invite you to click on the link below and join us again this year. Every donation makes a difference-and together, we can continue to show our gratitude to those who have given so much. Thank you for supporting our veterans!


Reminder: Friday, October 3, is a Digital Learning Day. Students will NOT report to CMS and will instead complete their assignments at home. Learning will be asynchronous, meaning there will be no live Zoom meetings.
