The Cumberland High School Community promotes development of a culture in which students are respectful, responsible, and ready to succeed.  We guide our students to be actively involved in the learning process that combines academic depth of understanding with higher order thinking, problem-solving, risk-taking, and creativity.  We offer opportunities for students, as members of a 21st century world society, to become life-long learners and informed, productive citizens.
