Once a Zebra, Always a Zebra🦓 Welcome to our Alumni series, which features our staff, who are also Zebra Alumni! As we always say, once a Zebra, always a Zebra, and these staff members understood the assignment! 🦓 Jill (Johnson) Andrews 🏫Claremore High School - Teacher 🎓Zebra Alumni: 1993 ❤What do you love most about Claremore Public Schools? I love the sense of community and the quality of education our students receive. Claremore is a community that is rich in tradition, but we still embrace and welcome new ideas. I like that we are small enough to feel like a close-knit community, but we are large enough to offer so many educational and extra-curricular opportunities to our students. ❤What has been your favorite part about returning as a staff member? I enjoy seeing students continue the traditions that I was part of in the 1980s and early 1990s. I also love seeing how our school has grown and changed over the years. I also enjoy having children of former classmates in my classes. I also love that so many of MY former students return to CHS to pursue a career in education. There are currently 10 teachers on the faculty whom I taught, and there are three who are married to students I taught! I had a first this year: seeing students at CHS who are the children of my former students. 💭What is one of your favorite memories from being a CPS student? Linda Batty, the GT instructor, provides me with by far my fondest memories from my days as a student. She was my GT, English, Humanities, and Psychology teacher. I was in her classes for five years: 8th grade-12th grade. She was our academic team coach, which was my favorite activity in junior high and high school. She was not only an amazing and caring educator, but she was an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know her. She made a profound impact on thousands of students over the years, and she is one of the reasons I became a teacher myself. I also have very fond memories of falling in love with the French language. 👩🏻‍🏫What was your favorite class or teacher? Do I have to pick one? English and French were my favorite classes. I am certified to teach both of these subjects. In high school, Carol Willet, Carol Little, Beth Young, Linda Batty, and Phyllis Hess were my most influential teachers and mentors. In junior high, my art teacher, Linda Scudder, was my favorite teacher, in addition to Linda Batty. In middle school, Melba Quinton and Debbie Bonham were my favorite teachers. And finally, I loved all of my teachers at Westside. 🧠What was your favorite extracurricular? I was involved in academic team for five years, and I was named to the all area and all state teams in academic bowl my senior year. I was also the president of the French Club and the vice president of the National Honor Society. I ran track and played tennis as well, but I was definitely more academic than athletic. My senior class voted me Most Likely to Succeed. ⭐What was trending when you graduated? Clothes, songs, movies, etc. Body suits with high-waisted shorts, Doc Martens with baby doll dresses, bell bottoms and 70s stuff (Dazed and Confused was a popular movie), plaid flannel, grunge and the movie Singles, knee socks with short skirts, Seinfeld, The X Files, Beverly Hills 90210, The Cranberries, Trip Hop music, the series finale of Cheers, and the siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco! Also, 1993 was the infamous prom night tornado at CHS! CHS baseball won the 4A state championship, CHS cheerleaders were not only state champions, but they were also NCA national champions for the first time ever. CHS class of 93 swept float building, winning all three years (9th grade was junior high back then).

🚨 Blood Drive Success! 🚨 We're thrilled to announce that the Claremore Navy JROTC hosted four incredible blood drives throughout the last school year, culminating in the Estabrook Memorial Blood Drive. Our combined efforts from the school and community resulted in 322 blood donations, saving an astounding 966 lives! 🩸❤️ A huge thank you to Our Blood Institute (OBI) for partnering with Claremore High School and facilitating these drives. Your support has been invaluable. A special shoutout to Red Crown Credit Union for their generous support! They challenged our team to meet our donation goal, and upon achieving it, they donated $1,000 to our NJROTC program to further STEM education. On June 18th, Jeremy Daggs from Red Crown Credit Union presented the donation to our cadets in front of the local Red Crown Credit Union - Claremore Branch. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported our blood drives. Together, we are making a difference! 🌟

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 This year, several local high school juniors participated in the prestigious Oklahoma Boys State and Girls State programs, gaining invaluable leadership experience and a deeper understanding of civic responsibilities. From the Navy JROTC, cadets Joshua Hood, Ty Jones, Caleb Edwards, Ryan Carroll, and Damon Means attended Boys State. They were joined by CHS's Brayden Frederick, who also represented the Claremore community with distinction.🌟 On the Girls State front, Navy JROTC delegates Christian Sheets and Jada Reeves demonstrated outstanding leadership skills. Additionally, CHS's Camber Simpson participated as a Girls State delegate, contributing to the program's success.🌟 These programs, organized by the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary, provide students with hands-on experiences in government operations, elections, legislative sessions, and judicial proceedings. They are designed to cultivate the next generation of informed, engaged, and effective leaders.🇺🇸 Congratulations to all the delegates for their dedication and hard work. Your journey as future leaders is off to a great start!🙌
