In a recent hands-on science activity, Lovett students engaged in identifying and sorting the organelles found in eukaryotic cells of plants and animals.
This interactive exercise allowed them to explore the unique structures, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, while learning about the specific functions of each organelle.
Through collaboration and discussion, students deepened their understanding of cells and the vital roles these organelles play in the life of the cell.

Some Tips for New Teachers
| | |
By Will Harvey, History, CJHS
September 2, 2025
The first few weeks of teaching can feel like a blur. You’ve met your students, decorated your classroom, memorized (most of) your schedule, and survived those first day jitters. If your first year is going anything like my first year did, you are now all out of ideas, time, and energy.
Here are a few things I wish someone had told me after I’d gotten past the first 2 months of my first year.

CTE Courses Build Necessary Skills for Today's 21st Century Student
By Kimberly Poe, CTE
August 26, 2025
Whether the students realize it or not, while they are learning how to troubleshoot a computer program or why a vehicle isn’t starting, they are learning to problem solve. That skill alone can be carried in any direction they want after high school and is extremely valuable in the workforce.

The ABCs of starting a new year
Dr. Andy Schoggin is entering is fifth year as CPSD's Superintendent and knows that a successful school year mirrors what it it takes to make a successful school district.
We talked about the ABCs of starting a new school year in efforts to continue Clinton's successful track record of preparing students for the future.
| | | Tamikia Billings, Director of Student Services and Student Assessment | | When it comes to serving our students, both academically and personally, the use of data is critical to our decision making. The goal is not only to achieve a certain score or reach a certain mark on a state assessment, but rather, the goal is to assist students in their efforts to grow and become the best version of themselves they can be. By using data, our teachers can identify areas of growth and use their own expertise inside a unified, caring community. | | | | CPSD Board meeting scheduled for Sept. 9 | |

| | Clinton bruises Warren Central, wins opener | | |
Running back Braylon Lowery did not realize he had crossed the goal line on the Clinton Arrows' opening drive against the Warren Central Vikings.
It was an unfamiliar feeling. The sophomore, converted linebacker had powered his way into the end zone from six yards out to cap the drive, which shredded through the Warren Central defense.
"I didn't realize I had score," Lowery said after the game. "I have never been a running back; so it was my first touchdown."
It was Lowery's first career touchdown and the opener of a three-score night as the Arrows battered the Vikings 45-13 on Friday at Arrow Field.
