Today, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Abigail Pittman and the many generous community members who came together to support CPCSC students entering foster care.
Through a community-driven backpack item drive organized on social media, donations were collected to create “go bags” for students who may leave school and head directly to a foster placement. Thanks to this incredible generosity, each elementary school in our district received four fully supplied backpacks — 24 backpacks in total.
While we hope these bags are rarely needed, we know they will help bring comfort, care, and a sense of support during what can often be a very difficult and emotional day for a child.
Thank you for showing what it means to be a caring and compassionate community. 💙 #CPCSC #WarriorFamily #CommunitySupport
For the past two days, our teachers, instructional staff, and support teams have been participating in our annual Summer of Learning professional development conference. From literacy and math instruction to technology integration, special education, AI tools, curriculum resources, and student engagement strategies, our staff members have spent their summer break sharpening their skills and discovering new ways to support student success.
Their dedication to continuous improvement is just one of the many reasons our students thrive. Thank you to all of our educators who continue investing in their craft so they can provide the very best learning experiences for our Warriors.
School may be on summer break, but our educators are still in class! 💙🧡

“Interagency coordination is critical in an active killer situation.” — Chief Chad Pryce
Clark-Pleasant was proud to play a major role in this week’s countywide Armed Intruder Training Exercise, which was featured by multiple local news outlets across Central Indiana.
Chief Chad Pryce and the Clark-Pleasant Police Department helped lead the large-scale training alongside the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and nearly two dozen local, county, state, and federal agencies. According to media reports, more than 300 first responders, school officials, communications professionals, and volunteers participated in the two-day exercise.
For many involved, this was far more than a typical workday. Monday’s preparation and training sessions stretched 12–16 hours for many participants, and Tuesday’s full-scale exercise day was likely no different. Their dedication behind the scenes helped create meaningful training experiences focused on communication, coordination, and preparedness.
This year’s training also included specialized sessions for communications professionals led by Brilliant Media, as well as a collaborative tabletop exercise led by the Critical Response Group that brought school leaders and emergency responders together to work through emergency scenarios as one team.
Several Clark-Pleasant administrators, teachers, school resource officers, and staff members participated throughout the exercise, continuing our district’s strong commitment to school safety and preparedness.
We are incredibly proud of Chief Pryce and the entire Clark-Pleasant Police Department for the leadership, professionalism, and care they bring to our schools and community every single day. Their work often happens quietly behind the scenes, but this week it was recognized across Central Indiana.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 💙🧡
It felt a little like the final pages of a favorite children’s book — the part where the characters realize just how much they’ve grown before turning the page to a brand new chapter.
Tomorrow, these seniors will walk across the stage ready to chase dreams, create new adventures, and discover all the places life will take them. But today was about something just as important: pausing to reflect on the people who helped them along the way.
At the conclusion of practice, the Senior Class surprised Mr. Matt Anderson with a very special recognition. After serving as Dean for the last three years, Mr. Anderson has gone far beyond his role to support this class. From academics and tutoring to mentorship, encouragement, and simply being someone students could count on, he has made a lasting impact on countless lives.
To honor that impact, the entire Class of 2026 presented Mr. Anderson with a special Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation Senior Class Legacy Award — a recognition given on behalf of the entire graduating class for the difference he has made in their lives.
Sometimes the most important part of the story isn’t just where you’re going… it’s the people who helped you get there.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Your next chapter begins tomorrow.
🏆✨ Today, our middle school celebrated an incredible year of student achievement at their End-of-the-Year Awards Programs!
Students were recognized for excellence in academics, athletics, eSports, band and choir, leadership, citizenship, reading accomplishments, and so much more. From Academic All-Stars and Young Hoosier Book Award winners to NJHS members, Student Council leaders, athletes, musicians, and team achievements, today was all about celebrating the hard work, dedication, and character of our students. 💙🧡
Congratulations to all of our award recipients — we are proud of the many ways you represent your schools and communities each day! 👏📚🎮🏅🎶

Students had the chance to learn from an incredible variety of professionals, including staff from the Harlem Wizards 🏀, detectives 🚔, doctors 🩺, nurses 💉, firefighters and paramedics 🚒, a real estate agent and motorcycle racer 🏡🏍️, a banquet chef from the JW Marriott Indianapolis 👨🍳, lawyers ⚖️, CPR instructors ❤️, an Indiana High School Athletic Association official 🏅, the WCHS principal 🎓, animal groomers 🐶, members of the Army 🇺🇸, insurance agents 📋, and many more!
I even had the opportunity, as the Communications Coordinator for the corporation, to present to a few classes as well and share what goes into telling the stories of our students, staff, and schools every day 📸💻🎤.
One of the best parts of the day was hearing students share what they loved most about Career Day. Many said their favorite part was seeing their own family members — and their classmates’ family members — presenting and learning more about all the different career paths available to them. 💙🧡
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took time out of their day to speak with our students and inspire the next generation. We appreciate each and every one of you! 👏✨

The evening was also bittersweet as it marked the final middle school band concert for longtime CPMS Band Director Katy Briel, who is taking on a new role with ISSMA as the Instrumental Education Director after 20 years at CPMS. While we are excited for this incredible next chapter in her career, she will be greatly missed by the CPMS family. 💙
For the past 19 years as principal of CPMS, Mr. Rinehold has been an unwavering supporter of music, the arts, and student success. Through every challenge and every achievement, he made sure our music department had the resources, encouragement, and support needed to grow and thrive.
He has continuously promoted the success of our students to our school board and community through social media, newsletters, and countless conversations celebrating the incredible things happening at CPMS. His willingness to support our music programs is a huge reason why we have been able to host ISSMA events and continue earning the ISSMA All Music Award for our school community year after year.
As Mr. Rinehold retires at the end of this school year, this award serves as a heartfelt thank you for all he has done for our students, staff, and music programs throughout the last 19 years. He has built a foundation and legacy of excellence in music and the arts that will continue not only at CPMS, but throughout the entire Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation.
Congratulations, Mr. Rinehold, and thank you for the lasting impact you have made on generations of students. 💙
