Favorite work-related memory response continued: "We laugh about the chaos that used to happen in our classroom, reminisce over some crazy memories and then they tell me about their jobs, their families, and the goals they’re chasing. What really touches my heart is when they say how much being in my class meant to them and how it helped shape who they are today. Seeing them succeed and knowing I was a small part of their journey is the most rewarding part of what I do."

We’re proud to shine a light on the amazing individuals who make up our #CCSDFamily! ❤️🖤

CHS Synergy + Eagle Heights Book Drive! 📚 A huge thank you to everyone who donated and to our amazing Synergy students for helping get more books into the hands of our young #CCSDStudents!

The 7th Grade Black Team visited JA Finance Park on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of their Financial Literacy curriculum! (Red Team will go in the spring.) Students explored the many expenses adults have to budget for and practiced sticking to a budget while shopping. We’re grateful that CMS students get this valuable experience!

Favorite work-related memory response continued: "However, the memory that stands out most is when students worked to calculate the exact landing spot of a launched water balloon. I had never seen groups so focused on designing a procedure, collecting precise data, and running careful calculations. This was all fueled by a little friendly banter and the motivation of getting to use me as their target."

What makes you passionate about Clinton Schools? response continued: "Those daily interactions remind me teaching can be more than just what we teach but also about sparking curiosity, instilling a desire to learn, and building genuine connections with students."
