This morning, Clinton Middle School received an anonymous threat. As a precaution, all school sites were placed on lockdown while the situation was investigated.

We have received the all clear from law enforcement, and all schools have returned to normal operations.

Student safety is our highest priority. Law enforcement and school administrators responded immediately, all safety protocols were followed, and students and staff are safe. Learning continued with minimal disruption.

Thank you for your patience and partnership as we work together to keep our schools safe.

Important Update January 20
Clinton High School Vocal Music students spent Thursday with Dr. Jim Graves, Director of Choral Activities at Southern Nazarene University, during a special clinic as they prepare for their OkMEA Honor Performance this week.

Students received valuable feedback and guidance as they fine-tuned their music for this prestigious event. This clinic was made possible through a grant from the Clinton Public School Foundation, and we are grateful for their continued support of our arts programs.

So proud of these directors and singers and the dedication they bring to their work!

A special thank you to Dr. Sophia Lee from Southwestern Oklahoma State University for providing accompaniment for both rehearsal and their performance.

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. 💐

The CHS Choir spent Monday night rehearsing with Dr. Sophia Lee, Director of Music Therapy at SWOSU, who will serve as their accompanist for the OkMEA performance next week. 🎶🎹

The rehearsal focused on refining musical details, balance, and expression as students continue preparing for the upcoming performance. Working closely with their accompanist at this point in the process is helping the choir build confidence and bring the music together.

Thank you, Dr. Lee, for investing in our CHS vocalists. 💛
