Letter from the Principal Dear Pirates, It is hard to believe that we are well into the second quarter of the school year. Despite some obstacles that tried to sway our path, such as Hurricane Ian, our students and teachers have successfully maintained focus on what is important: student success. It has been an exciting Fall. Our Homecoming activities were a big success. Student and staff participation exceeded our expectations. Congratulations to our homecoming court and especially to our Queen Ava Austin and King Asa Austin. We are pleased to announce and congratulate our 2023 Crystal River High School Teacher of the Year, Karl Sieg and our 2022 School-Related Employee of the Year, Joni Miller. Mr. Sieg and Mrs. Miller are outstanding representatives of CRHS, and we are fortunate to have them as part of a team of professionals devoted to our students, our school, and our district. As we always do during the month of November, we reflect upon our blessings and all we are thankful for. We are so excited that our students are improving academically and continue to excel in athletics and extracurricular activities. Our students encourage us with their enthusiasm and dedication to reach their goals. As we enter the holiday season, I am reminded how thankful I am to have the privilege to serve you in this capacity. CRHS is a great school community and I continue to be grateful for your encouragement and support. I wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday season! Sincerely, Phillip K McLeod Principal
