Across Clinton Public Schools, students and staff came together to honor our nation’s heroes during Veterans Day programs held throughout the district. 🇺🇸
From heartfelt speeches to the moving performances of the National Anthem and patriotic selections by our band and choirs, each assembly served as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice of those who have served. Veterans were recognized as honored guests, and students gained a deeper appreciation for the true meaning of service and freedom through the day’s tributes.
Thank you to all veterans for your bravery and dedication. We are grateful for your service today and every day. ❤️🤍💙

We are proud to celebrate Kimberly Duerksen for being named the Educator of the Game at Friday night’s Senior Night! 🌪️🍎
For 32 years, Mrs. Duerksen has been inspiring students through the gift of music—sharing her passion, talent, and heart in every note. For the past four years, she has poured that same dedication into Clinton High School and Clinton Middle School, creating a space where students are both challenged and encouraged to grow as musicians and individuals.
Her students describe her classroom as a home and her choir as a family. She stays late to help, ensures every student has what they need to succeed, and never lets anyone struggle alone. One student shared, “She helped me find my voice when I had nothing. My confidence and talent have grown because of her.”
Her impact extends far beyond the classroom. Under her direction, the CHS Choir was recently selected as an honor group for the Oklahoma Music Educators Association (OkMEA) conference—a reflection of the excellence she inspires every day.
Thank you, Mrs. Duerksen, for using your gifts to help students find their voices and believe in themselves. Your leadership and love for music truly make a difference. 🌪💛

Now in his third year at CHS, Mr. Baker teaches Oklahoma History, Government, Speech, and Drama. He and his wife, Amy, have been married for two years.

I love going to his class and love seeing him support all the sports whenever he can!”

We wanted to share information about a situation at our CMS location this morning. All students and staff are safe.
This morning, due to an HVAC malfunction, the district emergency system was activated by our staff, and emergency responders were quickly on-site. All children and staff exited safely. After reviewing the situation, the fire department allowed us to return to the building, and we will complete our day.
Nothing is more important to Clinton Public Schools than the safety of our students and staff. We work on an ongoing basis with local emergency officials to ensure we are ready for emergency situations. We are grateful to the Clinton Fire Department for helping us today to ensure we were safe. We also want to thank our students and staff for being calm and cooperative.
Thank you for your support of Clinton Public Schools.
