Throwback to Beach Day on this LAST Monday of the 25–26 school year!
Our students (and teachers) showed up in their best beach attire and brought all the sunshine, smiles, and end-of-year excitement with them. From bright colors to laid-back vibes, it was the perfect way to celebrate all the hard work they’ve put in this year.
We’re soaking up these final moments together and enjoying every minute. Summer is almost here, Claremont!

Bryan Frazier Named OASA District 6 Superintendent of the Year
The Why Behind the Work: Bryan Frazier Named District 6 Superintendent of the Year
For Bryan Frazier, leadership has never been about titles, recognition, or standing behind a podium. It has always been about people.
It is about the student who needs someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. It is about the teacher who stays late to help a struggling learner. It is about building a school system rooted in trust, relationships, and purpose. And it is about ensuring every decision ultimately points back to what is best for students.
That philosophy is one reason Frazier has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) District 6 Superintendent of the Year, an honor recognizing exceptional leadership, service to public education, and contributions to educational advancement across Oklahoma.
Now in his ninth year leading, Frazier has guided the district through some of the most challenging and defining moments in modern education. From navigating a statewide teacher walkout and leading through the COVID-19 pandemic to overseeing curriculum reform, and the district’s largest bond preparation effort, his leadership has consistently focused on maintaining stability while continuing to move the district forward.
But those who know Frazier best say the story is bigger than the challenges he has managed. It is about the culture he has helped create.
Under his leadership, CPS established five district core values: Grit, Community, Excellence, Purpose, and Innovation. Those values are not simply branding statements placed on banners or websites. They shape district decision-making, program development, staff expectations, and student support systems across every school site.
The district’s current annual theme, “Win the Day,” reflects a philosophy that meaningful change is not built through one major moment, but through consistent, intentional effort every single day.
“Public schools are one of the most important institutions in our communities, and this recognition reflects the work of an entire district, not just one individual,” Frazier said. “I am incredibly grateful for our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners who continue to believe in the mission of public education and the work we do together every day.”

It’s time for Claremont’s Lemonade War! 🍋
Every year, our third graders wrap up the school year with an exciting LEMONADE WAR inspired by the book “The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies! Students work together to sell lemonade, hoping their “side” comes out on top in this boys-versus-girls, winner-takes-all competition.
The winning team gets to decide how the money raised will be used, making this a fun lesson in teamwork, entrepreneurship and giving back. We can’t wait to see who comes out victorious this year!
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the Lemonade War will be moved indoors.

Congratulations to all of our graduates who are graduating tonight!
Thursday, we had the privilege of welcoming back some very special visitors — our graduating seniors!
Each year, seniors from the district return to their elementary schools for the annual Grad Walk, and it is always such a meaningful experience for our students and staff. Our graduates walked the halls where their journey first began, shared advice and encouragement with our students, and took time to listen to words of wisdom from our teachers and Ms. Fay.
Seeing how much these students have grown reminds us all that big dreams truly do start in small classrooms. We are so proud of each and every graduate and cannot wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish in the future.
Once a Claremont zebra, always a Claremont zebra!

Our kindergarteners have been hard at work bringing science to life in the sweetest way!
As part of their learning about pollinators, students planted a garden designed to attract bees and butterflies. They thoughtfully chose host plants for butterflies to lay their eggs, along with flowers that pollinators love to visit. They even created a watering station to help take care of their new garden friends—and a bee hotel may be coming soon!
Hands-on learning like this not only builds curiosity, but also helps our students understand how they can care for and support the world around them. We are so proud of our little gardeners for digging in, learning, and growing!
