Curriculum

CPCS offers all levels of the education ladder in one building (Elementary, Middle, and High School). Studies include the core subjects of English, Math, Science, and History. CPCS also offers to students an optional creative arts course including band, chorus, and studio art. The school currently has two foreign language options which are French and Spanish. They are joined together into an after-school program, the Foreign Language club. The Foreign Language club has taken annual trips to Montreal, QC, Canada since 2006.

CPCS offers Advanced Placement courses in all the core subjects in the high school. These classes are usually sponsored by the College Board and are given AP tests in May that may end up counting for one semester of the class at the college level.

CPCS also has ties with New York's BOCES program.

Athletics

CPCS has 3 different sports teams (one for each sex makes 6 in total): soccer, basketball, and lacrosse. In 2007, the school opted to drop the baseball/softball program and replace it with lacrosse. The school has had the most success with the soccer program since the turn of the century. They teams play in NYS Section X, East Division which includes about 7 other teams.

In 2006, the Boys Soccer team claimed the New York State class D soccer crown. The Boys team had won the NYS Section X championship and qualified for states in '03,'05, and then in '06. The Boys marched through states to the Final Four in Oneonta, NY at the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Then advanced to the finals on penalty kicks against Laurens Central of Section IV and won the championship game 1-0 against SS Seward School from Section IX.

Facts

Colton-Pierrepont has recently upgraded its facilities by building a new gymnasium, library, lobby, and band room as well as touching up its older parts. The facilities are now in good condition. A new school sign was generously donated by the Colton-Pierrepont Teachers' Association.


Colton is within 15 miles of four colleges: St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Canton, and SUNY Potsdam. All of them have offered out-of-school activities for students at Colton.

Important trips are the Foreign Language Club trip, the Senior Trip, and Project Adventure for 7th graders.
