The Claremore High School NJROTC cadets spent part of their summer break giving back by helping prepare the high school for the upcoming school year. From moving furniture and organizing classrooms to assisting with summer renovations, these students stepped up and made a huge impact through their hard work and teamwork.
Their willingness to volunteer, serve others, and support their school community is a true reflection of the leadership, citizenship, and dedication that NJROTC represents.
A huge thank you to our cadets for giving their time and energy to make Claremore High School a better place. We are proud of the way you continue to represent Zebra Nation! ❤️

Marching Band is back in the BUILDING! 🥁🎺
Behind every incredible halftime show and competition performance are countless hours of hard work, discipline, and dedication. While the music is a huge part of marching band, so is the precision of every single step and that's exactly what our students are working on during camp.
Day after day, they're pushing themselves through marching fundamentals, learning that every step, every count, and every movement matters. It takes focus, grit, teamwork, and perseverance to perform at a high level, and these students continue to rise to the challenge.
We are so proud of the commitment our band members show to their craft. Their willingness to put in the work now is what makes the magic happen under the Friday night lights and on the competition field.
The season is just getting started, and we can't wait to see all of their hard work come to life! ❤️🦓

Claremore's very own Ms. Ashley Henry recently traveled to the home of the Wright brothers to attend Teacher Air Camp, where she immersed herself in hands-on aviation and aerospace experiences. From flight planning and flying an airplane to reassembling aircraft engines, exploring museums, and even training with real falcons, she gained firsthand knowledge from experts in the field.

Our junior high campers got an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the world of theatre during this year's Theatre Camp! Under the direction of Mrs. Ketterling, students participated in acting games and improvisation exercises that challenged them to think creatively, solve problems, collaborate with others, and perform with confidence.
Campers also had the opportunity to tour the Robson Performing Arts Center, giving them a firsthand look at everything that goes into bringing a production to life. From what happens on stage to all the work behind the scenes, students discovered that theatre is truly a team effort.
A huge thank you to our campers for embracing new challenges and to the parents and families who continue to support the arts!❤️🦓

Bringing science to life, one fossil at a time! ⛏️
Mrs. Stone's 3rd graders became junior paleontologists after learning about dinosaurs and fossils through a fun, hands-on excavation activity. Using chocolate chip cookies as their dig sites, students carefully uncovered their "fossils" with toothpicks and toothbrushes, just like real scientists in the field.
Creative lessons like this turn classroom concepts into memorable experiences, helping students stay engaged while discovering that learning can be just as exciting as it is educational. Way to dig in, Zebras!🦓
