Paiten Reavis broke the Claremore High School 400-meter dash record in the preliminary round of the OSSAA State Track Meet last week, covering the quarter-mile distance in 59.77 seconds.
The time sent her past the previous record holder, Katelyn Alexander who set the record in 2016 with a time of 59.78 seconds.
Reavis is still undecided on her next step as it relates to athletics with a few offers on the table for collegiate softball and track to contemplate.

We had a few more staff members and graduates to feature so we are continuing our COUNTDOWN...TO SUMMER - 1 Day
Kai and his mom Mrs. Jenny Shultz.
Kai Shultz began his Zebra career at WRJH in 7th grade. He was involved in wrestling and the AP/Pre-AP programs at CHS and concurrent classes at RSU. He will remember the teachers who helped him tremendously, “They went above and beyond and had a huge impact on me.”
Mrs. Jenny Shultz is a special education teacher at Claremont and has been on staff at CPS for 7 years. Her fondest memory is when Kai was awarded the Ironman award for wrestling this year. He is the only wrestler to ever weigh in and wrestle in every match from 7th to 12th grade at CPS. It was a monumental accomplishment.

Her fondest memory is getting to watch Coleton do what he loves to do as a football manager, he devoted countless hours to filming games and practices and being Coach Eddy’s right hand man. She knows he will definitely miss his football family.

Mr. Brian Key was awarded the prestigious Honorary FFA Degree this week. One of the greatest honors of an FFA Advisor is to present an individual with the Honorary Degree. As stated in the official ceremony, "It's always a pleasure to receive honorary members into the FFA. The purpose of this ceremony is to recognize, from time to time, the efforts of others made on our behalf." It states that this prestigious award goes to those helping to advance agriculture education and the FFA and who have rendered outstanding service and may be elected to honorary membership by a majority vote of the members.
When it came time to select this year's recipient, it didn't take long for the members to unanimously agree that the one person to receive this award was Coach/Principal Brian Key.
Coach Key stops by the ag building almost weekly to check up on the students, find out what activities or events we're headed to that week and always ask how the students are doing. He regularly brings projects from home that the students fix or repair for him as well... Coach Key is Mr. Boyer's evaluating principal and is always asking us what we need to be successful. He continuously states that he appreciates both Ms. Hankins and myself and our dedication to all Claremore FFA members. If you know Coach Key, then you know, he's nothing but a big teddy bear that wants all students to succeed at something.
So, Coach Key, the Claremore FFA members and advisors, would like to tell you they appreciate YOU!!

ZTV debuted the 2022 CHS Disney Channel LipDub at graduation. You can check it out here if you were not in the stands on Sunday.
This annual event cumulates the end of school, provides a school-wide team project, instills #CPSZEBRAPRIDE, gives our ZTV students an assignment to tie in all their digital editing skills, and entertainment for our community. It develops our students the opportunity to build their soft skills too - time management, project management, interpersonal relationships, leadership, grit, and many others. It is definately one of those events our students will take about 5, 10, 20 years after it is over. We are truly "All In This Together." 🎶
