Please join us in recognizing our most recent Educator of the Game, Mr. Jeston Laney. He was recommended by students who say he has already made a strong impact in his first year at Clinton High School by creating a classroom that feels safe, fun, and welcoming. 💛
Mr. Laney is a 2025 graduate of Southwestern Oklahoma State University and the newest member of the CHS history team. He has a deep love for history and enjoys helping students connect with the past in meaningful ways. Students describe him as patient and genuinely caring, with a teaching style that makes history and geography engaging while ensuring every student feels heard and supported.
Many students were especially touched by a recent email he sent, thanking them for a great year and telling them how proud he is of them. That simple gesture meant a great deal and speaks to the heart he brings to his classroom each day.
Thank you, Mr. Laney, for the passion, kindness, and dedication you bring to Clinton students. 👏🌪️

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. 👏🌪️

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. 💐

A new Little Free Library is officially open at Nance Elementary, and Clinton is now part of a global movement celebrating reading and community. 📚
With more than 200,000 Little Free Libraries in over 181 countries, this small book exchange brings big opportunities for students to discover new stories and share favorites with others. Mike and Myrna Perkins, who host a Little Free Library near their home, shared a grant opportunity that helped make this project possible. The grant provided the library with boxes of books to get it started, and students have already chosen their first books.
Students are welcome to take a book, return a book, and keep the love of reading growing right here at Nance. 📖
