Our final new teacher isn't really new to CMS... Greg Kelly was subbing throughout our building last year and now comes on board officially as a Student Success teacher! Welcome Mr. Kelly!
Thanks everyone for "liking" our new teacher posts. We are excited to get this dedicated team to work serving our students!
The CMS 7th Grade Black Team welcomes Becky Milum to the Science lab! A lover of all things outdoors, this gardener is coming back to her "roots" in Clinton after teaching in the Dubuque area for several years. Mrs. Milum's students had better be ready to enjoy the outdoor classroom!
Elizabeth Gosztola enjoyed marching for the Hawkeyes on Duke Slater Field so much that she decided she had to come to Clinton and be the 7th Grade Band Director! General Music students might also get a chance to play the steel pan - one of her passions! Ms. Gosztola will surely make quick friends with Ms. Rue... Swifties unite!
CMS welcomes Amy Peropat to the 8th Grade Black Team to serve Special Education! Mrs. Peropat will share a wide travel and living history with her students, having lived and taught in multiple states. Mrs. Peropat will be an asset to students during their the Zombie Apocalypse project - she loves the movie World War Z!
CMS is excited to welcome Jeffrey Moore to the Choir Director position! Mr. Moore brings middle school teaching experience from Kentucky. Choir and General Music students may hear the Imperial March playing in Room 200! Mr. Moore shared that he will never climb the Great Wall of China... again! Seems like a good story to ask about!
CMS is welcoming Kelly Holland to the Counseling crew! 8th graders will work with Ms. Holland in Counseling class, for support, and as they prepare for high school! Ms. Holland is a U Dubuque and Loras grad, enjoys swimming, and cheers for the Hawkeyes!
CMS is welcoming Jess Hart to the teaching team at the Education Advancement Center! Ms. Hart will bring her Special Education talents to serve students at our district's newest alternative setting. Ms. Hart has a range of interests as wide as her geographic upbringing - she's lived in states all across the country and loves everything from motorcycle riding to renaissance faires!
Both CMS and CHS are welcoming Linda Smithson as our Teacher Librarian! Mrs. Smithson brings a wealth of teaching and literary experience from the Quad Cities. If you like the Black Eyed Peas, the KC Royals, and Wonder Woman, you'll get along great with Mrs. Smithson!
CMS welcomes Zach Olesen to the 6th Grade Band Director podium! Mr. Olesen is a Minnesota native, ISU grad, and enjoys hobbies like woodworking and cooking. Many CMS students will also meet Mr. Olesen in General Music!
CMS is excited to welcome Phil Swanson to the 8th Grade Black Team (yea, that's him in the green)! Mr. Swanson brings years of Math and Synergy teaching experience from Clinton High. This sports lover, story teller, and family man is going to make a big impact at CMS!
