🪚 Got leftover lumber taking up space? Our CHS Woodshop program would love to put it to good use!

If you have scrap wood you’re willing to donate, give the CHS office a call at 580-323-1230 and let us know. We can even arrange for someone from the school to pick it up.

Your donation helps our students keep building, creating, and learning valuable skills!

You never know what our SRO will be up to during the school day. 🐾🐱

Officer Wilson found himself on kitten duty after this little stowaway made its way to school. 😄 Always ready to protect, serve, and snuggle a student’s pet when needed! 👮‍♂️

We are so thankful for the incredible support of the Clinton community! 💛

Last week, our new certified staff were welcomed in the best way—with gifts, goodie bags, meals, and more. These generous gifts came from local businesses and individuals who truly know how to make people feel at home. 🎉

During the Community Partners Lunch, sponsored by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, the Clinton Public School Foundation also surprised our new staff with a cash bonus. 👏

Thank you, Clinton, for reminding our newest Red Tornadoes that they’re part of something special. 🌪

#BackToSchool #FirstDayOfSchool

Emily Paschall, author of Eyes on Culture: Multiply Excellence in Your School, brought an unforgettable spark to our annual All-Staff event last week! 👏💛

Her insight into school culture, leadership, and belief in the power of educators had us reflecting, laughing, and dreaming bigger for our students. She challenged us to raise the bar—not just for others, but for ourselves—and left us charged up for the year ahead. 👊💥

Every year, like clockwork, Mr. Ray rounds up the WES and CMS crews for the legendary pre-school-year pilgrimage to Eischen’s. Last night did not disappoint — great food, even better company, and one slightly dramatic moment when the bus A/C wasn't working quite right. 🥵

Enter Teacher of the Year Rhett Blundell, who literally saved the day and fixed it like a champ. 👏🎉

Huge thanks to Sarah Kerr for being their fearless driver — they made it there and back safely, full of fried chicken and okra, and ready to take on the new school year!🌪️🍎🚌
