Mrs. Mills’ class got their kicks on Route 66 by taking a digital road trip along the iconic highway, researching and documenting a famous landmark from each state along the way. 🛣️💻
From classic diners in Illinois to glowing neon signs in Missouri, breathtaking desert views in Arizona, and the final stop at the Santa Monica Pier, each pair used technology to explore, research, and present a snapshot of the Mother Road’s rich history and local flavor.
This project was a great example of how incorporating technology into learning can deepen understanding, boost collaboration, and spark creativity—all while bringing history to life.

Women in Sports Day | Claremore Public Schools
Today, Claremore Public Schools proudly celebrates Women in Sports Day and the incredible women who lead, compete, mentor, and inspire across our athletic programs. From our student-athletes who compete with confidence and determination, to the coaches, trainers, officials, and leaders who invest in them daily, women in sports play a vital role in shaping excellence at CPS.
Their impact reaches far beyond competition. Through athletics, our students learn perseverance, teamwork, leadership, and accountability—skills that align directly with our district goals of developing well-rounded learners, fostering belonging, and preparing students for success beyond graduation. Women in sports help model what it means to pursue excellence with purpose while lifting others along the way.
At CPS, we believe athletics are a powerful extension of the classroom. Guided by our core values of Grit, Community, Innovation, Excellence, and Purpose, women in sports demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges, build strong, supportive teams, lead with creativity and vision, strive for the highest standards, and compete with intention and heart.
We are proud to celebrate the women who continue to move athletics forward, open doors for future generations, and represent Claremore Public Schools with pride—on the field, on the court, in the pool, and beyond.
It’s a great day to be a Zebra. 🦓💪

History came to life in AP U.S. History as students hosted a high-energy Gilded Age Political Reform Convention! 🇺🇸💬
Seven different groups stepped into the shoes of the era, passionately advocating from a wide range of historical perspectives. Students debated major issues like Yellow Dog Contracts, the Pullman Strike, Tammany Hall corruption, Social Darwinism, and the Gospel of Wealth, just to name a few. Each group shared their concerns, defended their viewpoints, and pushed for reforms they believed would create a stronger future.
Through powerful speeches, thoughtful arguments, and lively debate, students experienced firsthand how power, wealth, and reform movements collided during one of the most transformative periods in American history. This was hands-on learning at its best—engaging, challenging, and unforgettable.

A Full Circle Moment 🥹❤️
Mrs. Hall once walked the halls of Catalayah as a student, and today she’s back where her story began, this time shaping the next generation as a first grade teacher. Her journey coming full circle is a powerful reminder of the impact our schools have long after students leave the classroom.
Pictured here is Mrs. Hall then and now, alongside our principal, Mrs. Shuck, a beautiful snapshot of past and present coming together. It’s proof that the connections built within our schools don’t fade with time; they grow stronger.
At Claremore Public Schools, we truly are a family. We celebrate our roots, honor our stories, and take pride in welcoming our own back home. We’re so grateful to have Mrs. Hall leading, loving, and inspiring our students every day. 🦓❤️
