🏈💯 100 CAREER WINS!

There’s something pretty special about earning your 100th career win on Homecoming night at Lantow Field. ❤️🤍

Congratulations to Head Football Coach Jarrett Hurt on reaching this incredible career milestone!

Coach Hurt has spent nearly two decades on the Claremore sideline, first serving eight years as defensive coordinator before taking over as head coach in 2016. Under his leadership, the Zebras have become a consistent playoff contender while generations of student-athletes have learned, competed, and grown under his direction.

One hundred wins represent a lot more than Friday night scores. They represent years of practices, preparation, relationships, and commitment to Zebra Football.

And we can’t think of a better place to celebrate 100 career wins than at home, on Homecoming. 🦓

Congratulations, Coach Hurt! 100 WINS and counting! 💯🏈

Mr. Borntreger’s students were learning by doing. Students applied their understanding of volume and surface area by measuring the length, width, and height of different prism objects. They worked together as a team, rotated through stations, and put their math skills into action.

Math is always more fun when you can get on your feet, move around, work with classmates, and see how the math works with real objects.

Back in June, sophomore Ellyanna had an incredible week in Kentucky competing at the Junior Hunter Finals with her horse, Pip! Competing against a highly competitive field of 67 riders, Ellyanna and Pip proved to be an incredible dynamic duo.

A few highlights from their week include:
⭐️ 14th Place – Large Junior 3’3” 15 & Under Classic
⭐️ 17th Overall – Large Junior 3’3” 15 & Under

Competing at this level requires dedication, countless hours of practice, and a strong partnership between horse and rider. We are so proud of Ellyanna for representing Claremore High School and showing that our Zebras are making their mark both in and out of the classroom!

👑🦓 HOMECOMING HYPE STARTS EARLY!

For our elementary and junior high students, the Homecoming Tour is their chance to experience a little of the excitement waiting for them at CHS, and judging by these pictures, they GOT IT! ❤️

Our younger Zebras loved meeting the Homecoming Court and Reps, getting high-fives and hugs, and cheering them on like celebrities. And at the Junior High, those Court handshakes had everyone HYPED! 😂🔥

They cheered for the band and color guard, dance, cheer, football, and all the sights and sounds that make a CHS pep rally so much fun. 📣🥁🏈

That’s what we love about this tradition. Our younger students don’t just hear about Homecoming, they get to be part of it. They get to see what’s ahead, feel that Zebra spirit, and start imagining themselves there one day.

Today they’re the ones reaching out for a high-five. Before we know it, they’ll be the Zebras coming back to give one. ❤️🦓

And we’re just getting started! We’ll be sharing MORE Homecoming memories and photos all week long, so stay tuned! 📸❤️
