Clinton High School

🌟 Growing Our Future Teachers 🌟

We’re proud to share that six amazing CPS employees are taking part in the Teaching to Teach Apprenticeship Program through Oklahoma CareerTech and SWOSU! 🎉

This program is designed to help school staff earn their teaching credentials while continuing to work in our schools. It’s all about turning passion into profession—without having to step away from their current job and giving our students the gift of familiar faces who are already making a difference in their lives.

These six future teachers are investing in themselves and in our community’s future, and we could not be more excited to cheer them on! 📚💛

Back Row L-R: Dr. Ed Klein, Dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at SWOSU, Max McKnight, Director of Workforce Training at Oklahoma CareerTech, CPS Teaching to Teach Apprentices: Adrena Tyler & Mariah Espinosa, Gina Trent, SWOSU Assistant Professor Reggie Yount, CPS Superintendent Nathan Meget

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

This morning, the Class of 2026 gathered under a sky painted in soft pastels for Senior Sunrise — the first of many milestones in their final year at CHS. 🌅

Wrapped in blankets and surrounded by friends, they shared donuts, memories, and quiet anticipation for what lies ahead. There was laughter, lots of pics, and a shared understanding that this year will be full of “lasts,” but also full of incredible firsts.

To our seniors: soak in every moment, take the pictures, cheer each other on, and lead with kindness. This is your year. 💛

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. 👊💥
