Clinton Public Schools

Clinton Public Schools extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Susanna Williams. Susanna was a lifelong educator and served on the CPS district's Board of Education for eight years. She was also a faithful volunteer at Eastside Academy. Susanna was proud to serve our district and proud to be a Red Tornado. Her dedication and heart for students will be remembered by many.

Funeral services for Susanna will be held on Friday, January 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Cornerstone Church.

REMINDER: Monday, January 5, there is no school for students. CPS staff will have an inservice day. Students return to school on Tuesday, January 6. View the 25-26 CPS Academic Calendar at https://5il.co/36v18 #BuildingChampions #cpsreds

CMS Student Council spread holiday cheer around town by caroling before the break. 🎶🎄

Please help us recognize our most recent Educator of the Game, Mrs. Summer Morgan. She was recommended by students who say she holds them accountable while caring for them through even the toughest moments.

Mrs. Morgan has dedicated 20 years to teaching and consistently goes above and beyond for her students, personally creating marching choreography and writing individual parts to ensure every musician is both challenged and supported. She earned her National Board Certification in 2024 and was named the 2019 CHS Teacher of the Year.

Thank you, Mrs. Morgan, for the heart, time, and passion you pour into Clinton students. 👏🎶

Earlier this month, our Southwest 2nd-grade classrooms enjoyed a special visit from students in the SWOSU Department of Education.

The SWOSU students spent time interacting with our students and gaining valuable, hands-on classroom experience alongside our teachers. It was a great example of learning in action and the impact of strong partnerships.

We appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication as future educators, and we love opportunities that inspire both our students and the teachers of tomorrow.
