Drama at Claremore High School is known for its fun, creative, and energetic atmosphere! Students explore the origins of theatre while developing skills in voice, movement, and characterisation.
Drama isn’t just about acting; it also gives students a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring a production to life. From performance to production, students gain valuable experience that benefits anyone pursuing a college major or career in the people sector.
Along the way, students build public speaking skills, confidence, and poise, tools that last a lifetime. It’s always exciting to see what these talented students bring to the stage, from quick-thinking improvisation to perfectly polished monologues! 👏✨

🚀✨ Leadership in action!
Our Student Council members had an amazing time partnering with students in Mrs. Peter’s and Mrs. Bacon’s classes at Roosa Elementary to help with their Alpha III rocket class project!
From offering guidance on design and construction to cheering them on during testing, our high school leaders were proud to support these young engineers every step of the way. Hands-on learning like this not only builds STEM skills, but also creates meaningful connections between our schools.
We love seeing our students serve as mentors, role models, and encouragers in our community. Great job to everyone involved, the future of aerospace looks bright! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🎨🦓 During Zebra Connect time, CHOICES students explored creativity and self-expression through their “Emotions in Color” art project. Using different colors and designs, students represented how they were feeling in the moment.
This creative time gave students a chance to reflect, decompress, and express their emotions in a healthy way. We love seeing art used as a powerful outlet for self-expression and well-being! ✨

Our Catalayah 5th graders recently took on a stellar challenge in Ms. Loyd’s science class, designing their own solar systems, and the results were out of this world! 😉
Using poster boards, boxes, lights, paint, styrofoam, glitter, and plenty of imagination, students brought their versions of the universe to life. Each project was completely unique, showcasing creativity, effort, and a strong understanding of the concepts they’ve been learning in class.
We’re so proud of the hard work these students put into their designs. Great job, 5th graders!

Our 4th graders teamed up with their “Westie Bestie” 1st grade buddies in the STEM lab with Ms. Henry for a day full of teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.
During their time together, the older students stepped into mentorship roles—helping guide their younger partners through hands-on STEM activities while encouraging curiosity and confidence along the way. It was a great example of collaboration in action, with students learning from one another and celebrating each success together.
Opportunities like this show the power of mentoring, teamwork, and hands-on learning, creating meaningful connections while helping all students grow.

Students at Will Rogers Junior High celebrated Native American Heritage Day with special guests from the Cherokee Nation, who shared culture, history, and hands-on learning with our PE and Native American classes.
Students learned about the tradition of stickball, one of the oldest team sports in North America, and explored the history and skill behind blow darts through demonstrations and storytelling.
We’re grateful to our Cherokee Nation guests for sharing their time and knowledge, giving our students a meaningful look at traditions that continue to shape our communities today.

Zebra Fine Arts Continues to Make Us Proud!
Our talented students recently competed in the Young Talent in Oklahoma (YTIO) statewide art showcase and we’re thrilled to celebrate some incredible achievements. Out of students from across the state, two Claremore artists placed in the Top 10!
Amelia Matthews earned FIRST PLACE with a powerful portfolio centered around her prosthetic leg and the way it has reshaped her identity. Through themes of femininity, strength, and what it means to be whole, Amelia’s work tells a deeply personal story of growth and resilience. As Amelia beautifully puts it: “Together, these pieces document my evolution, reclaiming my body not as something diminished, but as something reimagined and undeniably powerful.”
Paige Brower placed 6th in the state with a thoughtful portfolio exploring self-identity, the ways humor can act as a mask, and the symbolism behind embracing your true self. Paige shared: “These pieces reflect all sides of me—especially the parts I feel pressured to mask.”
We are incredibly proud of Amelia, Paige, and every student who represented Zebra Fine Arts at YTIO. The talent in this dazzle is truly something to celebrate!
Want to see more amazing student artwork? Be sure to visit the CPS District Art Show happening March 23 – April 3 at the Robson PAC.
