PRESIDENTS DAY
Thank you for being the first and last face our students see in a school day. Thank you for putting their safety first. Thank you for everything you do for our students.
CPS treated our bus drivers with breakfast today in honor of NATIONAL BUS DRIVER APPRECIATION WEEK.
Claremore High School's mission is to ensure high levels of learning in ALL areas and prepare ALL students with skills for success. It is our vision to encourage, empower, and educate ALL students to become lifelong learners and productive members of society.
This week CHS science and social studies departments were provided a workday to meet together as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) and work on strategies to achieve our mission and vision.
Teachers spent time planning pathways for the future, examining alignment to the ACT, discussing vertical alignment within their curriculum, and collaborating on how to use common formative assessment data to improve student learning.
PLCs enable teachers to continually learn from one another via shared visioning and planning, as well as an in-depth critical examination of what does and doesn't work to enhance student achievement. This exercise was an opportunity to be intentional in bringing the content from the weekly meetings into a strategic department plan. The mathematics and English departments worked through the same process earlier this fall. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The CHS team brought back the Design Award, the Excellence Award, and the Tournament Champions title.

The Golden Norsemen and the Bulldogs will gain a Zebra on the field this fall. In conjunction with #nationalsigningday, two Claremore Zebras signed their official letter of intent to play football.
MASON HAYES, CHS linebacker, signed with McPherson College in Kansas.
DYLAN KEDZIOR, CHS receiver, signed with Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami.
Hayes chose based on a feeling of home and Kedzior a chance to perfect his craft; both will seize the opportunity to play the sport they love and continue their post-secondary education.

"A baseball field must be the most beautiful thing in the world. It's so honest and precise. And we play on it. Every star gets humbled. Every mediocre player has a great moment." -Jim Lefebvre

Students in Ms. Lopez's French II class introduced various francophone (French-speaking) regions to one another using brochures that they completed independently. Each brochure highlighted important cultural and historical facts while incorporating French vocabulary and sentence structure, and allowed the students to showcase their individual creativity.
Students divided into small groups to present their brochures in both French and English and collaboratively gave constructive feedback to prepare for future class presentations.
