As the 2025–2026 school year begins, I am honored to welcome our students, families, staff, and community members back to what promises to be another year of growth, learning, and achievement in the Clinton Community School District.
This year, we continue our journey with the vision “Empowering All: Future Ready.” This vision is more than a statement, it is a promise. A promise that:
All are welcomed, connected, and safe.
All stakeholders are relentlessly committed to high expectations.
All learners are empowered to engage in a rigorous educational pathway.
As partners in our students' educational journey, the work we do each day has the power to open doors and change lives. I am confident that, together, we will continue to rise to meet the challenges ahead and build on the strengths that shape our students’ future.
This year, we are excited to introduce a new initiative designed to make connecting with our district and attending school events easier and more convenient. We are implementing the Bound platform, a “one stop shop” for District information and athletic event access. Through Bound, community members will find our District calendar, purchase tickets to athletic events in advance, and take advantage of a cashless purchasing system at an athletic event. The platform also allows for the purchase of family athletic passes, student athletic passes, and 20-punch athletic passes, giving our community flexible options to support and enjoy our student-athletes.
Bound is quickly becoming the standard across many area and conference schools, and we are confident it will enhance the experience for our families and fans. If you have questions or need assistance with this new platform, please contact Clinton High School, the Clinton High School Activities Office, or Clinton Middle School. We are happy to help you get started.
As we embark on another school year, we thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership. Together, we will ensure that every student in our district is prepared not only for academic success, but for a future filled with opportunities.
