Dear Colfax High School Students, Families, and Community,

Welcome to Colfax High School. A place where tradition, opportunity, and community come together to help every student discover their potential. At the heart of our school lies a profound bond with our heritage, our local community, and one another, anchored by our fundamental values of RESPECT, CELEBRATION, SUPPORT, and SERVICE.

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Principal of Colfax High School. Every day I am inspired by our incredible students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and the community that makes Colfax such a special place. Together, we are committed to creating an environment where every student feels connected, challenged, supported, and empowered to succeed.

At Colfax High School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Whether students are excelling in our International Baccalaureate program, Career Technical Education, athletics, AP classes, Dual Enrolled classes, visual and performing arts, leadership, clubs, or community service, each experience helps prepare them for success in college, careers, and life. We strive to develop not only strong academic skills, but also the character, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills that today's world demands.

Our theme this school year, "Falcons Thrive Side by Side," reflects the heart of who we are. We believe students achieve their greatest success when they know they belong to something bigger than themselves. We are intentional about building meaningful relationships, fostering a culture of respect, celebrating one another's achievements, and creating opportunities for every student to connect with their school and community.

As principal, my commitment is to be present, to listen, and to work alongside our students, staff, and families as we continue building upon the proud traditions that have defined Colfax High School for generations. Together, we will continue creating a school where students are inspired to pursue excellence, embrace challenges, serve others, and leave prepared to make a positive impact wherever life takes them.

Thank you for being a part of the Colfax High School family. I look forward to partnering with you as we continue to help our Falcons learn, grow, and thrive side by side.

Falcons Thrive Side by Side.

With gratitude,

Shane Steinback
