Dino-mite Learning in Mrs. Whitaker’s Class!

Mrs. Whitaker’s AM & PM classes have been busy exploring the world of dinosaurs through fun, hands-on learning centers—and the excitement is prehistoric!

they’ve also been building their reading and writing skills by practicing CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant) on the whiteboard. Whether they’re sounding out words or “stomping” through new vocabulary, these young learners are making big progress in a fun and engaging way.

It’s safe to say these students are becoming dino-sized readers and writers, one roar-some word at a time! 🦕📚

A few weeks ago, students from Rogers State University visited our Claremore High School Aeronautics team to teach them how to use Tinkercad to design and model their own drone parts. Our students took those designs, 3D printed them, and successfully fitted them onto a working drone in preparation for the AeroGames competition.

And the results? FIRST PLACE at AeroGames! 🥇

We are incredibly proud of our students for their innovation, teamwork, and dedication throughout this process. This is what hands-on learning and strong community collaboration can accomplish.

Way to go, Zebras! 🦓✨

Claremore High School NJROTC cadets recently had the opportunity to visit the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum, one of Oklahoma’s most unique historical sites located right here in Claremore.

The museum features thousands of artifacts that tell the story of American history—from the Old West to World War I and beyond—offering a deeper look into the people, cultures, and innovations that have shaped our nation.

During the visit, cadets explored exhibits highlighting military memorabilia, Native American artifacts, and items connected to early American life. This experience provided a meaningful, hands-on look at how history, culture, and technology have evolved across generations.

Founded from the lifelong collection of John Monroe Davis, the museum was established to preserve history for public education and remains free to visitors today—a true reflection of its mission to serve and educate the community.

This visit reinforced the importance of understanding our history and heritage, and our cadets represented Claremore High School NJROTC with professionalism and curiosity throughout the trip. Well done, Cadets! 🦓

The future of Zebra Fine Arts is HERE!

This morning, our Fine Arts Department brought the energy with a Recruitment Rally for our upcoming 6th graders!

5th graders from across the district packed the Robson PAC to get a firsthand look at everything Zebra Fine Arts has to offer. From incredible performances by WRJH and CHS Show Choir, Jazz Choir, Drama, Improv, and Jazz Band to a showcase of amazing Art, students got a full taste of the talent, passion, and excitement waiting for them.

They also heard from current Fine Arts students who shared how these programs have shaped their confidence, friendships, and overall high school experience. The message was clear;, Fine Arts is more than a class… it’s a community.

We are beyond excited to welcome the next generation of performers, artists, and creators. If today was any sign, the future is bright and we can’t wait for these students to be part of something truly unforgettable. 🦓✨

National Silver Medalist, Kellie Stuard — we like the sound of that! ✨🎨

Join us in celebrating Claremore High School’s Kellie Stuard, who earned a National Silver Medal at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, one of the most prestigious recognitions for student artists in the country.

After first earning a Gold Key at the state level, Kellie advanced to nationals, where her work stood out among over 300,000 entries. Her piece, “Eyes Don’t Lie,” delivers a powerful message about deceit and the emotions it can bring to the surface—showcasing both technical skill and meaningful storytelling.

This achievement is a tremendous honor for Zebra Fine Arts and all of Claremore Public Schools. It reflects the talent, dedication, and creativity of our students, as well as the support and guidance from our incredible educators.

We are beyond proud of Kellie. Her work is making an impact on the national stage, and this is only the beginning!

Help us congratulate Kellie on this outstanding accomplishment! 🦓✨
