🎉 It’s NATIONAL MASCOT DAY, and we’re celebrating one of the rarest mascots in the country — the CLAREMORE ZEBRAS! 🦓❤️🤍 There are only four high schools in the entire United States with a zebra mascot — and Claremore is the only one in Oklahoma! That’s right — we’re part of an elite herd! 🦓 The Zebra name was born in the 1920s, when Claremore’s football team took the field in brand-new striped jerseys. A spectator shouted, “They look like a bunch of zebras!” — and the name stuck! Fun fact: those first striped uniforms were actually purple and gold! But in 1930, during the Great Depression, Superintendent Homer C. Heard chose a more affordable combo: red shirts and white khaki pants. That budget-friendly decision gave us our forever school colors — RED and WHITE! 🔴⚪ While other schools have Tigers, Cardinals, and Eagles… Claremore proudly stands out with STRIPES. 🦓 It’s a GREAT day to be a ZEBRA! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Last month, we honored three incredible women who are closing one chapter and beginning a beautiful new one. Mrs. Coffey, Mrs. M, and Ms. Phyllis were celebrated with a heartfelt retirement reception after school, surrounded by friends, laughter, and lots of love. Together, these amazing ladies have devoted over 75 years to education—touching hearts, shaping young minds, and making a lasting difference in the lives of so many students. Retirement from education isn’t just the end of a career—it’s the celebration of a lifetime of love, learning, and legacy. We are so thankful for the passion, patience, and dedication each of these women brought to our school. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will be felt for years to come. Happy Retirement, Mrs. Coffey, Mrs. M, and Ms. Phyllis! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
