She has been the warm, welcoming face of Coupeville Schools for almost a quarter century.

But now that is changing, as Eileen Stone has tendered her resignation, effective Jan. 6.

Stone, whose children Andre and Makana both graduated from CHS, has worked in the district for 24 years and is currently employed as the registrar.

She and husband Josh both graduated from Oak Harbor High School.

As she prepares to exit from the frontlines, Stone, among the kindest and most beloved employees in the district, offered her own thanks.

“It has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity of volunteering and working in all capacities of this school district with such amazing individuals that I have developed forever friendships,” she said.

“I will always hold Coupeville Elementary, Middle, and High School close to my heart and look forward to and hope to continue being a part of this school community.”

It’s a piece of clothing so special, it’s been 125 years in the making.

With Coupeville High School set to hit a major milestone when the calendar flips to 2025, the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club is hard at work to promote it.

They’ve produced an exclusive black-on-black hoodie which celebrates the upcoming 125th anniversary of CHS, with plans to have a long sleeve t-shirt ready for basketball season.

The hoodie sells for $45, with the money going to help the booster club award scholarships to graduating seniors headed to college or trade school.

You can buy one at home football games — the Wolves host South Whidbey Oct. 11 and Winlock Oct. 25.

The SOC is sharing space with the Coupeville Booster Club, and their table is right in front of the bleachers.

Or, if you can’t get to a game in person, you can use the info found in the pic below to buy one that way.

The Man comes around.

Lincoln Kelley is returning to the Coupeville School District after a stint in Oak Harbor and will be the new Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher.

He replaces Chad Felgar, who resigned to accept a position in Mukilteo.

The hire was announced Friday by Coupeville High School Principal Geoff Kappes and will be official once approved by the school board.

“I am very excited to confirm Lincoln will be joining the CMHS team,” Kappes said. “I firmly believe he will do great things in this position.”

Kelley, whose sons Brandon and Lathom both graduated from CHS, previously worked in the maintenance department and coached track and field for Coupeville.

While working as an Automotive Instructor at OHHS, Lincoln was honored as Washington state’s 2023 SkillsUSA Adviser of the Year.

Response to drug incident highlights CHS staff professionalism

Posted in Administration, tagged Coupeville High School, Geoff Kappes, Jennifer Morrell, Narcan on January 25, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The quick response of school nurse Jennifer Morrell and first responders kept a drug-related incident from becoming worse Thursday at Coupeville High School.

CHS/CMS Principal Geoff Kappes sent a message to school staff afterwards and later agreed to allow the email to be published while expressing understandable concerns about generating more online attention.

My decision to publish this email is meant to help with two things.

One, to quell social media chatter.

And more importantly, to highlight the school’s ability to quickly, efficiently, and safely respond to emergency situations.

Good afternoon CMHS Staff,

I wanted to provide an update and express my gratitude for the effective and professional response to an incident that occurred earlier today involving a student who arrived at school under the influence.

At approximately 8:05 this morning, I was notified of a student who had concerning behaviors at the Prairie Center.

Upon observing the concerning behavior, I notified Nurse Jenn and she led the student to the health room.

While there the student, expressing fear that the THC they had consumed might be laced with something, took the precautionary measure of requesting to self-administer Narcan.

9-1-1 was called and first responders arrived quickly, and the student was taken to the emergency room.

The latest update has informed us at this time the student is okay.

I was very impressed with the collaborative approach of our office team.

The student was cared for appropriately all while maintaining normal operations of the office and the school.

I want to address any potential concerns that may arise due to the administration of Narcan, commonly used to counter the effects of fentanyl.

This was a student request and self-administration out of an abundance of caution.

We have no reason to believe that fentanyl was involved in this incident.

Moving forward, let’s continue to prioritize the safety and welfare of our students.

If you notice concerning behavior, please intervene and contact the office.

Thank you for your continued dedication and professionalism.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

Geoff Kappes
CHS/CMS Principal
