The Claremore Zebra wrestling team has taken on Bartlesville, Owasso, Bishop Kelley and have been extremely successful. These are the first duals of the season and the Zebras came out on top both times. These student athletes are working towards the goal of going to dual state and bringing home a title. In order to have a successful season the team is putting in a lot of hard work with rigorous practices and early morning workouts in the new performance center. After speaking with some of the wrestlers it is looking like we will have a productive season: Matt Franklin, a senior wrestler, says his motivation for this year comes from his teammates and wanting everyone to have a successful year as they work as a team. Cooper Zickefoose, a junior wrestler, says fans can look forward to an entertaining year because this is a hard working team who enjoys pushing themselves in order to reach their goal. Landon Cates, a junior wrestler, says this year is going to hopefully field with several underdog wins for the zebras and looks forward to being a wrestler that his teammates can rely on him to win no matter what.

Mark your calendar for this Saturday, December 9th, at the Cox Business Center to support your CHS Varsity Dance Team at state.

They are extremely excited to finally display all their routines. Good luck ladies and take state! If you want to come out and support your CHS dance team, admission is 10 dollars and we will be performing multiple times.

Block Finals Schedule: 🖊 December 21: 2nd and 4th period 🖊 December 22: 1st and 3rd period 🛑 Remember - to protect the testing environment students will not be checked out of school DURING class time.

Recently, students in Mr. Noland's AP English Language & Composition classes at Claremore High School undertook an engaging and empowering academic endeavor. They delved into personalized research topics, demonstrating their intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills. The culmination of their efforts was witnessed in the form of motivational speeches delivered during their ZED talks. These presentations showcased the students' eloquence, analytical prowess, and passion for their chosen subjects. The atmosphere at Claremore High School was charged with intellectual fervor as each student captivated their audience with insightful perspectives and compelling arguments. Mr. Noland's classes not only fostered academic excellence but also nurtured the essential skills of public speaking and effective communication, leaving an indelible mark on the students' academic and personal growth.

Claremore High School is making waves in the world of robotics as it proudly dispatches five formidable robotics teams to compete in the recently inaugurated VEX Robotics Native American Showcase in Arizona. This prestigious event serves as a platform for showcasing not only technical prowess but also innovation and teamwork. Claremore High School's commitment to excellence is evident in the rigorous preparation and dedication displayed by each of its robotics teams. The competition, which attracts talent from across the nation, provides a unique opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills and collaborate with like-minded individuals. This year the goal was to move balls to your side of the field or underneath a net. Each team tried to score as many points as possible, in order to beat their opponent. Each Claremore team created their own robot and split the responsibilities amongst the group: these include a driver, journalist, builder, programmer, and a team leader. Robotic competitions take pride in teaching those life skills as well as interviewing skills and good sportsmanship. The Zebras had several successful teams including two teams that qualified for World Competition in Dallas. The rest of our teams have one more chance to compete in order to qualify for Worlds. Congratulations to Claremore robotics, Go Zebras!
