Please help us recognize another recent Educator of the Game, Ms. Ashley Kelley. She was recommended by students who describe her as caring, down-to-earth, and someone who makes them feel comfortable and supported every day. 🎉

Ms. Kelley has taught at Clinton High School for eight years, creating a cozy, welcoming, and stylish classroom that is always a little caffeinated and never ordinary. She teaches Broadcasting, Advanced Broadcasting, Journalism, Fundamentals of Technology, and Senior Capstone, and also serves as the head coach of Mock Trial. Ms. Kelley has built a unique niche that blends creativity, competition, and real-world skills through hands-on, experimental learning experiences.

Her proudest accomplishments as a teacher are seeing her students succeed. She looks forward to the day they become successful, tax-paying citizens so that one day, she might finally be able to retire. She believes education should be meaningful, challenging, and memorable, and she loves giving back to the community that has supported her throughout her teaching career. 💛

Thank you, Ms. Kelley, for going above and beyond for your students and teams, and for the heart, creativity, and dedication you bring to Clinton High School every day. 👏🌪️

This morning, Clinton Middle School received an anonymous threat. As a precaution, all school sites were placed on lockdown while the situation was investigated.

We have received the all clear from law enforcement, and all schools have returned to normal operations.

Student safety is our highest priority. Law enforcement and school administrators responded immediately, all safety protocols were followed, and students and staff are safe. Learning continued with minimal disruption.

Thank you for your patience and partnership as we work together to keep our schools safe.

January is School Board Appreciation Month, and we are grateful for the leadership, service, and steady commitment of the Clinton Public Schools Board of Education. Their work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt every day by our students, staff, and families. Their decisions help shape opportunities, support growth, and keep students at the center of all we do. 💛🌪️

This month also gives us a moment to pause and remember Susanna Williams. Her dedication to the students of CPS and the Clinton community left a lasting mark. She served with heart, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to doing what was best for our children. Her legacy continues through the lives she touched and the example she set. 💐
