Cumberland Valley High School invites you to the wedding of a lifetime on April 16th - 19th, 2026!
On a sunny Greek island, young bride-to-be Sophie has one wish: to have her father walk her down the aisle. The only problem? She doesn’t know who he is! After secretly reading her mother Donna’s diary, Sophie narrows it down to three possible dads and invites them all to the wedding! Chaos, comedy, and a little romance explode as past secrets bubble-up, old flames reignite, and everyone dances their way through the weekend! With dazzling characters, hilarious twists, and the irresistible music of ABBA, Mamma Mia! is a feel-good celebration of love, family, and friendship that will leave you singing & dancing in the aisles!
Tickets go on sale Monday, February 2nd at 10:00 am. Visit www.cvmusical.com to purchase.
See the attached poster for times, prices, and a QR code to the ticketing site!
Additionally, check out our amazing cast!
ABBA Fans! This one's for YOU! See you on the dance floor!! |

Fly Like an Eagle!
Cumberland Valley School District's Portrait of an Eagle is our vision for all students upon graduation. Through the immersive Kindergarten through twelfth grade experience here at CVSD, our students will be able to demonstrate these seven competencies for success in adult life. We will reward students each month with the CVSD Portrait of an Eagle Award Certificate. Be on the look out should your student come home with an award!
Additionally, students will be awarded the "High Fly"er" tickets on an ongoing basis to be entered in for regular prize drawings. Students may earn lunch with the principal, a game in the lobby "Sharkade," or prizes from the Principal Prize Bin. |
