#CCSDGoldKey Congratulations to Ms. Angie, our EAC secretary, on receiving the Gold Key Award! Angie is a problem solver, caretaker, and a listening ear for students and staff alike. She has a remarkable way of making every person who walks through the door feel seen, valued, and supported. Angie also has a special gift for helping students find the path they need, no matter how challenging the journey may be. Our success as a district is made possible because of dedicated employees like her. ❤️🖤

Future engineers in the making! 🚀 3rd grade TAG #CCSDStudents enjoyed designing and building their own Mars rovers.

Favorite work-related memory response continued: "My favorite memories come from the connections built along the way: fun-filled interactions, shared laughter, and creating a learning environment where students felt acceptance, belonging, challenge and growth. There is nothing quite like witnessing a student's lightbulb moment - when something finally clicks and they recognize their own potential. I'm also deeply moved by the way families and staff consistently support students, rallying around them and helping them envision their highest possibilities. It has been an honor to work alongside fantastic educators who are incredibly passionate and compassionate about what they do. These collaborative, heartwarming successes are some of my most cherished memories."

"What makes you passionate about Clinton Schools?" response continued: "I am proud to have contributed to generations of students in a positive way, using humor and positivity to build a fun and engaging learning environment. Seeing students truly happy and invested in their education melts my heart, and it reminds me why this work matters so much."

Some of our second graders have wrapped up their Civil War unit in CKLA, and what an incredible learning journey it has been! Over the past few weeks, students explored the people, events, and big ideas that shaped this important time in our nation’s history. They asked thoughtful questions, built new vocabulary, and made connections between the past and the world we live in today. #CCSDStudents

So many reasons to celebrate our outstanding athletic teams! We’re proud to highlight just a few of their incredible achievements. Congratulations to all! ❤️🖤 #CCSDStudents

Valentine’s Day shenanigans filled our schools with laughter and lots of love! ❤️ #CCSDStudents
