That’s how much time our students at Pleasant Crossing Elementary spent reading—and it earned them 2nd place in the state in the Read to the Final Four “Rising Readers” competition! 🏀
This isn’t just about a contest…
It’s about building lifelong readers, creating daily habits, and showing our students that reading can be both fun and powerful.
We are so proud of our students and staff for turning pages into progress. 💙

This time of year is filled with so many special moments as we recognize the incredible people who pour their hearts into serving our students and families each and every day.
Yesterday, at Clark-Pleasant Middle School they surprised their Employee of the Year winners during an after-school staff meeting — and it was a moment full of joy, gratitude, and a few happy tears.
👏 Classified Employee of the Year: Jill Stickels, Administrative Assistant/Registrar
👏 Certified Employee of the Year: Laney Sweeney, Teacher
👏 Classified Operations Employee of the Year: Rhonda Yates, Custodian
Each of these individuals represents the very best of what it means to serve others and make a difference in the lives of students.
And one moment that truly captured the spirit of the day… Laney’s surprise didn’t stop with the announcement. Her teaching team went above and beyond by inviting her entire family to be there — and her sweet girls even showed up dressed to match her. 💕 It was a beautiful reminder that the impact of a great educator extends far beyond the classroom.
As each of our schools celebrates their Classified and Certified Employees of the Year, we are reminded just how lucky we are to have such passionate, dedicated individuals across our district.
We are so grateful for ALL of our staff who show up every day to support, inspire, and care for our students. This work matters — and so do you.

2026 FFA State Proficiency Results-FFA Proficiencies are based on students’ Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Programs — real-world, work-based learning opportunities in agriculture. Each student completes an extensive portfolio documenting their skills, growth, hours worked, and real-life connections gained through their experience.
This year, several of our students advanced from Districts to compete at the State level — and they made us proud! 👏
🏆 STATE WINNERS 🏆

On Sunday, April 12, one of our talented WCHS band students, Hayden Shanks (tuba), had the incredible opportunity to perform at the Indiana Wind Symphony Side-by-Side Concert at the Palladium in Carmel!
Hayden was nominated and selected for this prestigious experience after earning a Gold Rating on his tuba solo at the ISSMA State Solo & Ensemble in February — an outstanding accomplishment that reflects his dedication and musical excellence.
Performing alongside professional musicians in such a beautiful and renowned venue is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t be more proud of Hayden for representing WCHS at such a high level!
👏 Congratulations, Hayden — your hard work and talent continue to make the Warrior community proud!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Johnson County Community Foundation for their generous $1,000 donation to Break-O-Day Elementary!
Because of their support, we were able to replace essential items in our Art and Music rooms — and we’re excited to share the new materials our students are already using and enjoying every day!
Earlier this January, a heating unit failure in the ceiling of the art room area caused unexpected damage within the building. Thanks to the quick response of our local fire department, the situation was quickly contained and our students were safely back in classrooms within just a few days.
However, the damage resulted in the loss of many valuable materials and supplies in both our Art and Music spaces.
🎶🎨 Thanks to this generous donation, those spaces are now fully restored and filled with the tools our students need to create, explore, and express themselves.
📸 Take a look at the new items their donation helped make possible!
We are so grateful for community partners who step up and make a lasting difference for our students.

Today, we had three schools recognized by the Indiana Department of Education for achieving a 95% or higher pass rate on the 2025 IREAD assessment — an incredible accomplishment!
🏫 Break-O-Day Elementary
🏫 Grassy Creek Elementary
🏫 Whiteland Elementary
These schools were invited to the State House to be recognized for this outstanding achievement
This is a celebration of our corporation's collective effort to make foundational literacy a priority for students. Although a small group was able to represent each school, this honor reflects a true schoolwide effort to support students in reaching this milestone.

We are proud to introduce our next Ambassador Academy member, Sarah Richardson, from our second class of ambassadors! 💙
Sarah and her husband Chris are proud parents of two young Warriors, ages 9 and 5, who attend Pleasant Crossing Elementary School. With one son in PreK and the other in 3rd grade, their family is fully immersed in the early years of the Clark-Pleasant experience.

Something truly amazing came together just yesterday!
As many of you know, Indy has been hosting the Division I, II, and III NCAA Basketball Championships. During the Division II National Championship game, one of the competing schools—Lander University—was unable to bring their pep band.
That’s when something special happened… they called on OUR students. Around 20 members of the WCHS Band stepped in and performed on behalf of Lander University at the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game, live from Gainbridge Fieldhouse , on a nationally televised stage!
What an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for these students! We are so proud of their talent, flexibility, and professionalism in representing not only another university, but our entire community, on such a big stage.
💙👏 Way to go, WCHS Band!
