We are cheering loudly today for our very own SRO Andrew Wilson. He was named the City of Clinton Police Department Officer of the Year, and we could not be prouder of him. 👮‍♀️🚔

Officer Wilson shows up for our students and staff every single day with steady leadership and a calm presence that makes a real difference. 💙🏫

Help us congratulate Officer Wilson on this well-deserved honor. Clinton is lucky to have him, and so are we. 🌪️👏

#SRO #OfficerOfTheYear #BuildingChampions #cpsreds

Clinton Public Schools was notified of a possible threat involving Clinton High School, and our local police department is actively investigating.

Families will see an increased police presence on and around the campus while that work continues. To protect the integrity of the investigation, we are unable to share additional details at this time. We will provide updates as we are able. Classes and activities will continue as scheduled.

The safety of our students and staff guides every decision we make. If you know something that could help law enforcement, please speak up and share it with the Clinton Police Department at 580.323.2323 Ext. 0. As always, you can also use the free ProtectOK app to report any suspicious activity.

Southwest turned into a cozy little winter workshop this week during Family Art Night. 🎨

Kids and families grabbed hot cocoa, made ornaments, and snapped fun photos at our photo op. 🎄 Our counselors had a calming project made possible with a Clinton Public School Foundation grant, and the book fair was packed with shoppers hunting for their next good read. 📚💛

#FamilyArtNight #BuildingChampions #cpsreds #swelem

Families with little ones are invited to stop by the Clinton Connections Wellness Fair today at the Frisco Center. Drop in anytime from 4:30 to 6:00pm and pick up free resources designed for children ages 0 to 5.

Sensory kits, early learning activities, and a variety of helpful tools will be available while supplies last. It’s a simple way to grab fresh ideas that support early growth and learning. 💛

Clinton Public Schools celebrated Native American Heritage Month with Native Dancers and a Drum Circle at assemblies throughout the district. Students learned about native culture, heritage, and history. #NativeAmericanHeritage #BuildingChampions #cpsreds

Hill’s Pet Nutrition wrapped our district in kindness this season by hosting a coat drive for Clinton Public Schools. Their team gathered warm coats for students across our campuses, and the generosity has already made a real difference as temperatures drop. 💛🌪️

In a month centered on gratitude, we’re especially thankful for community partners who look for ways to lift others. Hill’s showed what it means to care for people with the same heart they bring to caring for pets, and we couldn’t be more appreciative. 🐾
