CMS / CHS Welcome Back

Dear CMS and CHS Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Carlinville Middle School and Carlinville High School! We hope you have had a restful and rejuvenating summer, and that you are as excited as we are for the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead.

Please let us introduce ourselves, as there have been some changes to our administration and office staff.

My name is Dr. Danley Killam, and I am the new principal of Carlinville Middle and High School. I am honored to be starting my 18th year in the Carlinville School District in such a dedicated and vibrant community. Our mission this year is to continue fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

My name is Kyle Smith, and I am one of the new associate principals of Carlinville Middle and High School. I am excited about starting my 4th year in the Carlinville School District and 18th year in education. One goal I have this year is to build strong partnerships with students, families, and staff members to help all of our students reach individual accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. I look forward to students returning to the building to launch a new school year.

My name is Sandra D. Stiegemeier, and I am one of the associate principals of Carlinville Middle School and High School. This is my 8th year in the district, previously you would have found me in a high school mathematics classroom or as an assistant principal, and my 18th year in education. I look forward to working with families and staff to support our students in being successful in their educational endeavors.

We now have one main office for both the Middle and High Schools. Dawn Cottingham and Cathy Stoneking are the administrative assistants in the main office. They are excited to help with anything you might need throughout the school year. The Carlinville Middle School and Carlinville High Schools’ phone number is (217) 854-3104 and the fax number (217) 854-5260. Beth Fish will be the administrative assistant in our student services office. Beth will be helping with all attendance, student records, and guidance office. Heidi Lange will be the administrative assistant of Special Education Services. Heidi will be working with special education teachers and personnel to facilitate communication and scheduling with families. Last, but not least, Joleen Craig will continue her role as financial secretary. Joleen is now located in the student services office.

Physically, the 6-12 complex remains the home of Carlinville Middle School and Carlinville High School as it has always been. The reference to the buildings as a 6-12 complex is used internally to help foster a more unified school culture in shared spaces. Teachers will work across both the middle and high schools, aiming to provide more opportunities for students, facilitate smoother transitions, align curriculum, and offer additional resources.

We encourage you to stay engaged and connected with us throughout the year. Your involvement and feedback are invaluable as we work together to create the best possible educational experience for your children. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us or our dedicated staff with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have.

Our team is eager to welcome back our returning students and to meet those who are joining us for the first time. Together, we will strive to make this school year one of discovery, achievement, and fun.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Here’s to a fantastic school year!

Warm regards,

Carlinville Middle School & Carlinville High School Administrative Team
