ZEBRAS, IT’S TIME TO COME HOME. 🦓
Look closely. You might just see yourself.
These photos hold homecoming memories from 2018 to 2024, but they represent generations of Zebras who have filled these halls, cheered from the stands, played under the lights, and called Claremore home.
Tomorrow night, we get to do it all again.
Homecoming is about coming back, seeing old friends, remembering the moments that made your time here special, and knowing that no matter how many years have passed, you will always be a Zebra.
So, Zebras, come home tomorrow night. ❤️

Let’s welcome Tina Smith to the Zebra family in today’s New Staff Feature!
Mrs. Smith is joining Will Rogers Junior High as a Special Education Teacher. She earned both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Education Leadership and Policy.
When asked why she chose teaching, she shared, “I became a teacher because I know what it feels like to be underestimated.” Mrs. Smith wants to be the teacher she needed growing up—someone who sees strengths before shortcomings and helps students recognize that their future is not already decided.
She chose CPS after hearing great things from teachers who previously worked here and connecting with Mr. Mudd in HR. She also appreciates the warm, welcoming community and the way CPS prioritizes relationships between staff, families, and the community.
Mrs. Smith enjoys:
📚: Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
🎬: Good Sam
🍿: Popcorn (except spicy or sour flavors!)
🍫: Midnight Milky Way or Mounds
🥤: Water or sweet tea
🌿: Green
🏝️: Bahamas or Hawaii
🏀: OSU & OKC Thunder
In her free time, she enjoys reading, drawing, painting, making jewelry, and learning new instruments. She plays the flute and piccolo and is currently learning guitar and trumpet! 🎶
Mrs. Smith is a proud mom of three and has a medium-sized dog named Jack. 🐶 She also loves helping groups stay organized and finding ways to make things run more efficiently.
She has been named to the Dean’s List several times and received a grant that helped provide funding for a SPED kitchen designed to teach students valuable life and job skills.
And here's a fun fact: Mrs. Smith is a first-generation college graduate and has earned two degrees, while currently working toward her third!
A graduate of Antlers High School's Class of 2003, she was a member of the Pride of Antlers Marching and Concert Bands, earned the Director's Award as a senior, and held first chair for four years. 🎺
Her favorite quote is: “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” — Mark Twain
