Mrs. Reynold's class celebrated their knowledge of restaurant vocabulary by transforming the classroom into a restaurant, complete with kitchen staff and servers. Students designed very creative menus with unique restaurant names and menu items. The kitchen staff and servers did an amazing job of working together and taking customers’ orders in Spanish. Customers practiced their newly acquired vocabulary by placing their orders in Spanish, and paid for their meal with “pesos”. Students had a great time socializing and enjoyed chips and salsa with practicing their skills.

Over the past semester, Mr. Z's AP English Language students explored the art of rhetoric, focusing on the skill of persuasion . For their capstone project, students selected topics of personal interest and were tasked with convincing their classmates why their chosen topics are important. To further refine their oratory and communication skills, students delivered compelling arguments in front of their peers and even some faculty members through what Mr. Z likes to call ZED Talks, showcasing their ability to articulate and defend their viewpoints effectively.
SENIORS! Winter break is the perfect opportunity to complete your FAFSA! Remember, submitting your FAFSA is a graduation requirement, so don’t wait—get it done now. If you have any questions or need assistance, stop by Mrs. Adcock's office or email her at sadcock@claremore.k12.ok.us.
Mrs. Gonzalez's Spanish class explored the cultural significance of piñatas in a hands-on and engaging way. After learning about their history and traditions, students worked in groups to create their own colorful piñatas.The highlight of the experience came when they had the chance to embrace their inner child and break open their creations to enjoy the treats inside. This interactive activity brought learning to life and made for an unforgettable and fun-filled day!
Mrs. Huddleston's Graphic Design class recently completed an exciting Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity with a real-world twist. Students assumed roles as designers at "Big Z Graphic Design" and were tasked by their "supervisor" to develop a new video game concept. The project included multiple phases: brainstorming their idea, creating a rough sketch layout on grid paper, and designing a professional-quality cover in Photoshop, incorporating an Adobe Illustrator component they created.To bring their concepts to life, their designs were printed and placed on DVD cases. The project culminated in presentations to a panel of CHS teachers, where students showcased their creativity, technical skills, and ability to execute a design project from concept to completion. This immersive experience was both challenging and rewarding, giving students a glimpse into the graphic design industry.
Intro to Plant, Food, and Fiber finished up their semester by knocking out the safety test to have the opportunity to get into the shop. After they completed testing, students had the opportunity to use the Miller Augmented Arc Virtual Reality system! This helped students gain first hand experience before scratching an arc out in the welding booth to better understand why placement of the hands and speed of the electrode are important. This opportunity will allowed students to be hands on, but also explore the opportunities in AG Power and Technology next year!

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." - Buddy the Elf
Our Foreign Language Club filled the high school with joy as they sang Christmas carols from around the world. Their festive singing brought smiles to our faces and warmed our hearts!
Our students in the Northeast Tech Pre-Engineering program exemplified the spirit of service and gratitude by partnering with City Lights to serve meals to those in need. These dedicated students spent hours fundraising to ensure they could not only donate but also personally serve meals to the homeless.
This meaningful act of service was about more than just providing food—it was a demonstration of compassion and gratitude. By giving their time, effort, and resources, these students not only supported individuals facing challenging circumstances but also gained a deeper appreciation for the privilege of helping others. Their commitment reminds us of the profound impact that service and gratitude can have, both on those we serve and on ourselves.
The CHS marching band brought an extra dose of cheer to the holiday season as they proudly marched in the Claremore Christmas Parade. Dressed in festive sweaters and playing joyful tunes, they filled the air with holiday magic, helping the Claremore community embrace the festive spirit in style.
Finals start tomorrow!
🖊 Dec 19th: 2nd and 4th period
🖊 Dec 20th: 1st and 3rd period
It's not too early to call 📱or email 🖥️ the school at chsattend@claremore.k12.ok.us and/or dmeisinger@claremore.k12.ok.us to check ✅ your student out for Wednesday or Thursday 📅. If a parent checks a student out, the office will update Infinite Campus and notify the teacher by way of email at the end of the class period.
To preserve the testing environment, CHS will NOT 📵 check students out during the testing hour 🕓.
If they finish early ⏳, a student will remain in the classroom for the entire time ⌛. This procedure allows other students to continue working on their final without disruptions 🤫.
Thank you 🙏 for your help in this matter. We want to ensure ALL students 🧑🤝🧑 are in an environment conducive to testing.
