Mrs. Keisha Evans is our Dean of Students.
Women’s History Month to me means the women that have paved the way for our generation so we could achieve our goals and dreams. For me, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to give praise to my mother for her constant strength that has helped make me into the woman I am today.
Today we begin our daily recognition of all the fine ladies that work at Crisfield Academy and High School! We will start with administration and then no particular order. Ms. Vestina Davis is our hardworking assistant principal. Everyone was asked what Women's History Month meant to them. Here was her answer.
I was a high school social studies teacher for 22 years prior to becoming the AP.
Looking back two or three hundred years ago, women were limited in the roles they could assume in society. Fast forward to the present day and women play a much bigger role outside of the home. Women no longer just run households and families, they can now run global companies and at the same time be the head of the house. We have come a long way in 200 years and it is good for the world to recognize the major contributions women have made to society. I love working with teenagers and being at Crisfield Academy and High School.
The Boys Varsity Baseball team (coached by Wayne Howard) is holding a fundraiser to raise money for additional equipment, and we need your help! Guess the number of buttons in this jar and whoever comes the closest will win gift cards to eat out! Guesses are $1 each or 6 for $5. If you spend $5, you get a bonus guess on the small jar of buttons. Jars may be seen and guesses purchased during regular school hours (7:30 am until 2:30 pm) at the front office. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Proud of our students and staff. We have the best.

8th graders from CAHS and WAHS had the opportunity to explore and network with over 100 vendors across 15 career pathways today at JA Inspire. Our students were amazed with all of the interactive opportunities and career information given to them.
Today, 8th graders attended the Junior Achievement of the Eastern Shore's "JA Inspire" event at the Wicomico County Youth & Civic Center. The event is the largest JA Inspire in the history of the Eastern Shore.
Hosted by the Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board, it featured over 130 exhibitors from across Delmarva including TidalHealth, Chesapeake Utilities, Whiting Turner, NASA, and many more.
The event also featured colleges, universities, apprenticeship programs, trade schools, and internships so students could get information on pursuing their educational and career goals.
