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. 💐

It's Game Day! 🏀🌪️

Red Tornado basketball is back on the court tonight as we take on Woodward at the Tornado Dome. It is shaping up to be a great night of competition and school pride.

We will also take time to celebrate the people who make Clinton Public Schools special. Join us as we recognize another Educator of the Game, honor our Booster of the Week, and proudly introduce the CPS Board of Education.

And a special shoutout to our future Lady Reds who brought big energy to the game on Tuesday! Seeing them in the stands and on the court made the night even better. 💛

We'll see you there!

Please help us recognize our most recent Educator of the Game, Mrs. Summer Morgan. She was recommended by students who say she holds them accountable while caring for them through even the toughest moments.

Mrs. Morgan has dedicated 20 years to teaching and consistently goes above and beyond for her students, personally creating marching choreography and writing individual parts to ensure every musician is both challenged and supported. She earned her National Board Certification in 2024 and was named the 2019 CHS Teacher of the Year.

Thank you, Mrs. Morgan, for the heart, time, and passion you pour into Clinton students. 👏🎶
