📸🎒 Telling Stories Through Flat Lays

Our Photography students turned their backpacks inside out, literally, to tell the story of their school life using only the contents they carry each day.

They arranged their items using principles of balance and symmetry, captured everything in natural window light, and created powerful visual narratives that blend personal storytelling with technical artistry.

What a creative way to reflect on student life and practice professional photography skills!

🧫🦠 Things Got Wild in Zoology!

Our Zoology students wrapped up their Parasite Projects with fascinating presentations. From brain-controlling fungi to gut-dwelling hitchhikers, they researched the creepy, crawly organisms that rely on hosts to survive, and wowed us with their creativity and scientific insight!

We love seeing curiosity, research skills, and a little gross-out fun come together in the name of learning! 🧠📚

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Claremore High School’s very own Hadley Smith, who earned a spot in the 2025–26 Oklahoma Choral Directors Association All-State Mixed Choir!

Hadley rose to the top through an extremely competitive process — over 2,000 students from across the state auditioned through both regional and final rounds. Securing a place in this elite choir is an extraordinary accomplishment and a testament to Hadley’s talent, dedication, and hard work.

Way to represent Claremore with excellence, Hadley! 🌟🦓🎤

Before the break, Ms. Hall’s 1st graders created these adorable Thankful Turkeys to share all the things that make them feel grateful. Their sweet reflections are a reminder that thankfulness isn’t just a holiday… it’s something we can carry with us all year long.

We love seeing our little Zebras celebrate gratitude in such a meaningful (and adorable!) way.

🎅+🤝+🦓 Attendance Matters, Zebras!

We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow...and every day that follows.

There are only 15 instructional days until winter break — that’s 97.5 hours of valuable learning time left in 2025! Every class, every lesson, every day makes a difference.

Zebs & Santa agree - show up, stay engaged, and finish 2025 strong! 💪❤️🤍
