The high school is located near the elementary school campus, so older students often set up tutoring for younger kids. The school competes in the Ottawa-Kent Conference in football, competitive cheer, soccer and softball, just to name a few. Cedar Springs Red Hawks can participate in three full seasons of indoor and outdoor athletics thanks to the Red Hawk Stadium and other nearby fields.

My time at Cedar springs high school has been really good and I'm grateful that I got to spend all four years of high school here. Some of my favorite memories at the school were hanging out with teachers and coaches. Some of my worst experiences were some of the teachers didn't do a great good at teaching and were rude. Some things I would like to change is some of the teachers teaching approaches and less strict about some things.
