THE STAGE IS SET. WE'RE HIRING A DRAMA TEACHER!

The student who discovers their voice.
The shy freshman who finds their confidence.
The first audition. The standing ovation.
The debate that challenges perspectives.
The moment a student realizes they belong in the spotlight.

Behind every great performance is a teacher who helped make it possible.
Claremore High School is looking for a Drama Teacher who sees the potential in every student and knows how to bring it to life.

Someone who loves the energy of the stage, the art of storytelling, the challenge of a good debate, and the magic that happens when students step outside their comfort zones.

Because drama education is about so much more than memorizing lines or delivering a performance. It's about helping students find their voice, think creatively, work together, and develop the confidence to take center stage—in the theater, in the classroom, and in life.

Your role? Inspire the performers, storytellers, speakers, and leaders of tomorrow.

If you're passionate about the performing arts and helping students discover what they're capable of, we'd love for you to join our Zebra family.

Your next act starts at Claremore High School!

🌶️A CLAREMORE TRADITION THAT GIVES BACK! 🦓

Good chili, great company, and an even better cause!

Our last home football game brought back a community favorite as the Rotary Club of Claremore hosted its 39th Annual Chili Supper in support of the Claremore Public School Foundation (CPSF)!

And the impact goes far beyond a bowl of chili! Each year, CPSF awards more than 60 grants to bring new opportunities and resources into our classrooms. The Foundation also supports student scholarships and celebrates our teachers through events like the annual Back to School Breakfast.

A HUGE thank you to the Rotary Club of Claremore for 39 years of giving back to our schools, and to this year's sponsors for helping make it possible!

❤️ Jeffrey Burger - Edward Jones, Neely Agency, Chick-fil-A, Armstrong Bank, Claremore Eye Associates, Axis RX Pharmacy, BancFirst, Hillcrest, and RCB Bank. 

This is what makes our Zebra community so special. When we come together, our students and teachers benefit! 🦓❤️

From aerospace and engineering to manufacturing and skilled trades, there's a world of opportunity close to home! 👏

A BIG thank you to our community partners for investing their time in our students and helping them see what's possible!

🎃 OH, MY GOURD! THAT'S SOME HANDS-ON LEARNING! 😂

Mrs. Haltmar’s class took storytime to a whole new level!

After reading Pumpkin Jack, a story about the life cycle of a pumpkin, students got to bring the book to life by carving their very own class pumpkin! 🌱🎃

But before they could create their masterpiece, they had to tackle the gooey, slimy insides!

And THOSE reactions? Priceless! 😂 Some students dove right in, others weren't so sure, and a few looked ready to give up pumpkin carving forever! 🤢🤣

A little reading, a little science, and a whole lot of pumpkin guts! That's what we call learning that sticks! ❤️

🎀MORE THAN A GAME. MORE THAN A COLOR. 🦓

Our last home game was about more than football! 💕

Our Zebra family showed up in pink to support the students, staff, families, and community members battling cancer.

While pink traditionally represents breast cancer awareness, we know not all cancer is pink. This night was about standing together and reminding those fighting any type of cancer that they're not alone.

A special thank you to Zebras United Against Cancer (ZUAC) for supporting our students and staff facing cancer, and to everyone who wore pink and showed their support! 💗

Different battles. One Zebra family. ❤️🦓

Right now, students are learning to observe, document, and sketch the scene. Their sketches must be scaled and reproducible, as they would be in a real court case.

Who knew school lunch could be such a circus?! 😂 Our Child Nutrition teams traded their usual lunchroom looks for elephant ears and ringmaster hats, bringing a little extra excitement to the cafeteria for National School Lunch Week!

A BIG thank you to our Child Nutrition teams at Catalayah, Claremont, Roosa, and Westside for making lunchtime such a fun experience for our elementary Zebras this week! You are the real stars of the show! 🌟

📸 And a special shoutout to our Claremont crew for being such good sports and showing off their circus looks for the camera! We couldn't have asked for better models!

🎭 SOME SECRETS ARE BETTER LEFT HIDDEN... 👀

The CHS Drama Department recently took the stage with its one-act production of The Yellow Wallpaper!

When Eleanor discovers a hidden diary, she uncovers a family secret and a danger closer to home than she ever imagined. With trapped spirits, mysterious twists, and a story that blurs the line between past and present, this psychological thriller kept audiences guessing!

But a production like this takes more than the actors you see on stage! 👏

From the talented cast bringing each character to life to the students building sets and working behind the scenes, every detail takes creativity, teamwork, and dedication.

A special thank you to the teachers and coaches who guide, encourage, and invest their time in helping our students turn their ideas into a performance.

❤️🦓 Bravo to everyone who helped bring The Yellow Wallpaper to life!

🔥🚒 FIRE SAFETY DAY AT CATALAYAH! ❤️

Our Catalayah Zebras got a special visit from the Claremore Fire Department, and they learned some important lessons that could help keep them and their families safe!

From practicing Stop, Drop, and Roll and learning when to call 911 to understanding smoke alarms, crawling low under smoke, and having a family meeting place, our students got a hands-on look at fire safety. 🚨🏠

One of the best parts? Watching firefighters put on their full gear! Students learned what firefighters might look and sound like during an emergency and, most importantly, that firefighters are there to HELP, not to scare them! 🚒❤️

A BIG thank you to the Claremore Fire Department for taking the time to teach our Zebras these potentially lifesaving skills!

👀🏠 Parents, here's a question for tonight: Does your family have a designated meeting place outside your home in case of a fire? If not, this is a great opportunity to choose one together!

The softball season may be over, but we still have plenty of reasons to celebrate our Lady Zebras!

Between practices, games, tournaments, and hours on the road, these student-athletes found ways to stay on top of their schoolwork. Sometimes that meant turning a bus ride into study hall! 🚌✏️

Being a student-athlete takes dedication, time management, and a whole lot of hard work. We're proud of the commitment these girls showed in the classroom while representing Claremore on the field.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at the Lady Zebras' mobile classroom! ❤️
