In Digital Video Editing, students are discovering how the principles of still photography seamlessly translate into shooting video. As they wrap up the Photography unit with the Shutter Speed lab, they learn how controlling motion—whether freezing it or creating intentional blur—applies to photography and video production. Understanding these techniques helps students create dynamic video content, capturing action with purpose and precision. Check out some of the amazing images they took during the lab, showcasing their mastery of motion and creativity! #cpszebrapride

Arr, Matey! During National School Lunch Week, our cafeterias transformed into pirate coves to celebrate the importance and value of school lunch! 🏴‍☠️🦜 Each kitchen hosted a coloring contest, and we had several submissions! Even though the festivities are over, every day, we acknowledge the value of school lunches and celebrate our ability to provide them! 🦓♥

Coach Thorne wrapped up her unit on The Crucible with her English III students by organizing an escape room that allows students to engage with the key themes and plot points of the play in an interactive and collaborative way. Students worked in small groups to solve a series of puzzles and challenges, all related to characters, themes, and important quotes from the play. Each task required critical thinking, teamwork, and a deeper analysis of The Crucible. The final challenge involved unlocking a hidden "message" that tied back to the lessons learned from the text. The students were enthusiastic, and the activity sparked great discussions afterward. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The Native American Student Association attended the Native American Day Celebration, immersing themselves in cultural activities and traditions. Students could participate in traditional dances, learn about blowgun techniques, and engage with various businesses. These interactions provided valuable insights into educational and career opportunities, specifically for Native American students. Ask your counselors or principal about the Native American Club at your school.

🌍📚 Mr. Wadsworth’s class just took a creative trip around the world—through brochures! 🗺️✈️ Students explored the 6 major climate zones: Polar, Temperate, Tropical, Highland, Continental, and Dry.

🎓 Claremore High School Seniors Taking Steps Toward Their Future! 🎓 Earlier this year, our seniors had the chance to attend a college fair and meet with recruiters from colleges across the region! This valuable experience gave students insight into the application and enrollment process, helping them explore potential colleges ahead of College App Week. Getting our students onto college campuses allows them to see themselves as future college students and familiarizes them with what it's like to be part of a college community. At CPS, we are dedicated to raising student achievement and ensuring that every Zebra feels confident and prepared for success beyond high school—whether that’s college, career, or military service. #cpszebrapride

This fall, Claremore High School sophomores participated in the annual Sophomore Showcase at (Northeast Tech) NTC, exploring a variety of career programs as they prepare for their junior year. Students chose three programs to tour at the Pryor campus, offering a more personalized, hands-on experience with tools, projects, and equipment. Meanwhile, the Claremore campus provides a comprehensive tour of all six full-time programs. This event is a vital part of our Individual Career Academic Plan (ICAP) process and reflects Claremore Public Schools' commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in education. By exposing students to career-tech opportunities, we empower them to make informed decisions about their future, aligning with our district’s mission of providing education with purpose and helping every student achieve success. Through this experience, students gain insights into career pathways that support their personal and academic growth while preparing them to thrive in life beyond high school.
