Arrows convert late to defeat Vicksburg, 14-13

The Clinton High School football team used late-game heroics to defeat Vicksburg, 14-13, in its preseason scrimmage Friday night at Memorial Stadium.

After a scoreless opening quarter, the Arrows grabbed a 6-0 advantage when Boskey Evans raced into the end zone from 12 yards out. However, the Gators rattled off 13 unanswered points, scoring on a 29-yard passing touchdown and a pick-six returned 88 yards during the second to take a seven-point lead with 1:25 left on the clock.

Clinton pulled within a point as time expired in the two-quarter varsity contest when John Jackson hauled in a 12-yard touchdown reception. With the game coming down to the conversion attempt, Jayden Jones connected with Evans out of the backfield for the two-point conversion, lifting the Arrows to the road triumph.

This year's camp clinic is scheduled for August 29, 2026. The last day to sign up and order a t-shirt is Saturday, August 22, 2026

Parents with students riding the bus to and from school have a new method of keeping up with their child in the morning and in the afternoon.

Clinton Public School District’s Department of Transportation is utilizing The Zonar App that allows parents to keep track of their student’s bus via GPS. 

Parents and guardians can download The Zonar App on both Apple and Android devices through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

In order to utilize the app, parents will enter the CPSD School Access Code, CLI3627. Parents and guardians will then search for their student’s bus route. 

Once that information is inserted, parents and guardians will need to enter their student’s Student ID number. 

For any questions or concerns, parents and guardians can email transportation@clintonpublicschools.com.

Say It With Me—It's Literally Rocket Science

Reagan Cothern

Twelve years ago, I failed a test for the first time. I remember the score—a 62—written in red ink right next to my name. There were tears. Lots of them actually.

Contrary to what you might think, I wasn’t crying in fear of how my parents would react to the F, and I wasn’t worried about what the score meant for my grade in the class or for my GPA.

No, I was crying out of frustration. You see, the night before the test, I’d spent maybe a maximum of 30 minutes studying for it because I was expecting an easy A.

The Power of Choice, Flexible Seating

Kristin Garvey
Eastside Elementary


My 11th year of teaching began the evolution of my beliefs of what another kind of successful classroom environment can look and feel like and the impact on student learning.  

Over the 8 years that have followed, I made adjustments along the way in types of seat options and classroom layout depending on compromises made with various building leaders.

The Clinton Public School District has a tremendous staff of educators that possess an immense amount of knowledge through research and experience.

The Teacher Targets Blog allows that vast depth of knowledge to be shared with other educators and stakeholders.

Remember when setting up the Zonar MyView App, parents and guardians will need their student's Student ID, excluding the zeros from the beginning of the ID number.

Also, be sure to have your student's bus route handy and the access code CLI3627.

“Do you know someone who would be interested in working as a substitute teacher or paraprofessional? Great substitute teaching opportunities are available Clinton Public Schools. You don’t need prior teaching experience—just a desire to help students become the best versions of themselves.
