Last night, we welcomed this year’s Clark-Pleasant Ambassador Academy cohort for their first session—and what a great group to kick off another year of learning, connecting and getting a behind-the-scenes look at CPCSC!
For their first session, our Ambassadors learned more about the Clark-Pleasant Police Department and the upcoming school referendum.
🚓 The evening began with a field trip to our Real-Time Information Center (RTIC), where the group had the opportunity to see firsthand how our police department works to help keep our schools safe. They met members of the CPPD team—including our police K9s—and learned more about the people, technology and resources that support safety throughout our district.
🍽️ After returning, the group enjoyed dinner from City Barbeque while learning a little more about how school financing works and the referendum question that Clark-Pleasant voters will see on the ballot this November.
The Ambassador Academy was created to give parents and community members a closer look at the many pieces that come together to serve our students—from safety and staffing to finance, operations, future planning and more.
We have a fantastic group joining us this year, and we can’t wait to continue learning alongside them and sharing their Ambassador Academy journey throughout the year!
And there’s another reason to follow along: we’ll be introducing you to each member of this year’s Ambassador Academy cohort on social media throughout the year! 👋💙🧡
Welcome, Ambassadors! We’re so glad you’re here!

Last spring, Matthew Baranko approached Clark-Pleasant with an idea for his Eagle Scout project: create new raised garden beds that could be used by our students.
In April, Matthew took the first big step by presenting his plans to the Clark-Pleasant School Board. From there, he got to work turning his proposal into reality—planning the project, raising funds and organizing the work needed to make it happen.
Matthew raised most of the money for the project by sending letters to family and friends, receiving generous support from families who wanted to help. Then it was time to build!
Over four work days and approximately 12 hours, Matthew led a team of volunteers in building and preparing the garden beds, adding soil and mulch, and installing a soaker hose for watering. By the middle of August, the project he first brought to us last spring was complete! 🌻🌿
The garden is now ready for planting and, most importantly, ready for our students to learn, explore and grow.
We are grateful to Matthew for choosing an Eagle Scout project that gives back to our schools and will continue benefiting students for years to come.
Congratulations on a job well done, Matthew, and thank you to everyone who donated or volunteered to help bring his vision to life! 👏

🌿💧 Who says a classroom needs four walls?
Last Friday, Taylor Tatlock’s AP Environmental Science students at Whiteland Community High School traded their desks for waders and headed into Young’s Creek in Franklin for some hands-on water ecology!
Students stepped right into the stream to explore the ecosystem firsthand and put what they’ve been learning in the classroom into action.
Waders on. Feet in the water. Science happening all around them. 🌎🔬
We love seeing our Warriors get opportunities to learn by doing—and sometimes that means getting a little wet along the way! 💙🧡

There are a lot of great things happening during FIT at Clark-Pleasant Middle School!
On any given day, you might find students…
➗ Getting some extra help with math
❓ Asking questions and getting the support they need
📊 Learning how to calculate and understand their GPA
📚 Participating in athlete study tables
🎈 Putting their creativity and STEM skills to work with balloon dog creations
🙌 And so much more!
FIT provides time within the school day for students to get support, catch up, ask questions, explore interests and try something new.
Sometimes learning looks like working through a tough math problem…and sometimes it looks like figuring out how to build a dog out of balloons! 😄
We love seeing all the different ways our CPMS Warriors are making the most of their FIT time! 🧡💙

This week, our Clark-Pleasant elementary schools are coming together for Bully Free Week! While the spirit days may look a little different from school to school, the message is the same: we all have a role in creating schools where students feel safe, supported and included.
Throughout the week, students are participating in daily Warrior Way lessons that go beyond simply telling students to “be kind.” They are learning:
⭐ What bullying is — repeated behavior, an imbalance of power and intentional actions
⭐ The different types of bullying, including verbal, physical, social and cyberbullying
⭐ How to recognize the difference between bullying and conflict
⭐ What it means to be an upstander and help others
⭐ The importance of empathy and including others
⭐ Healthy ways to resolve conflict
⭐ What to do and who to talk to if they believe they or someone else is experiencing bullying
Of course, there’s plenty of fun mixed in, too! From superhero gear and sports jerseys to pajamas, Warrior Pride and plenty of school-specific themes, our students and staff are showing their Bully Free spirit all week long. 🙌
At Clark-Pleasant, building safe and supportive schools means helping our students develop the skills to recognize bullying, speak up, seek help and look out for one another.
Here’s to a great Bully Free Week, Warriors! 🧡💙

If you know Coach Camp, you already know why this recognition is so well deserved. Now, the Daily Journal is helping share her story! 🧡💙
The Daily Journal recently sat down with Coach Dana Camp, Clark-Pleasant’s 2026 Teacher of the Year and one of Indiana’s Top 25 Teachers of the Year, to talk about her career, her students, and the impact she continues to make as a PE teacher at Whiteland Elementary School.
Coach Camp represents so much of what makes our educators special — a commitment to students, a passion for what she does, and a desire to make a difference that goes far beyond the gym.
We are so proud to have Coach Camp representing Whiteland Elementary and Clark-Pleasant Community Schools at the state level!
Take a few minutes to read the Daily Journal’s feature and learn a little more about one of Indiana’s top educators!

This morning, Chief Chad Pryce welcomed our Assistant Principals for a tour of the Clark-Pleasant Police Department’s facilities and a closer look at the people, systems, and resources working every day to help keep our schools safe.
Chief Pryce walked the group through our safety systems, introduced them to members of the department—including a few of our favorite four-legged K9 officers 🐾—and opened the floor for conversations about situations our building administrators may encounter and how our school police officers can support them.
With several new faces among our building-level administrators this year, it was a valuable opportunity for some to learn more about our school police department for the first time and a great refresher for others.
Having our own school police department means more than having officers in our buildings. It means having professionals who know our schools, know our staff and students, understand our procedures, and can work side-by-side with administrators before, during, and after a situation.
It’s one of the many pieces working behind the scenes every day to help make Clark-Pleasant schools safe, supportive places for our students to learn and grow. 💙🧡
Thank you to Chief Pryce and the entire Clark-Pleasant Police Department for all you do for our Warriors!

At Clark-Pleasant, we talk often about the importance of being lifelong learners—and that doesn't stop when you earn a diploma, a degree, or even become the person standing at the front of the classroom.
Today's eLearning Day gave our teachers and staff dedicated time to learn, collaborate, grow, and strengthen their skills so they can continue giving our students their very best.
Throughout the day, staff participated in learning opportunities covering everything from literacy and math instruction to student mental health, behavior supports, school safety, technology, multilingual learners, special education, and more—all with the goal of better serving our students.
Education is always evolving. New tools, new strategies, new research, and new challenges mean there is always more for all of us to learn. Providing our staff with dedicated time for meaningful professional development is an investment in them—and ultimately, an investment in every student they serve.
We ask our Warriors to be curious, keep growing, and never stop learning. We believe it's important that the adults in our schools model that same commitment. 💙🧡
Today was a day of learning across Clark-Pleasant—just in a little different way!
And because everything is better with tacos... 🌮💙🧡
#WarriorPride #LifelongLearners #ClarkPleasantSchools










Students will complete assignments from home while our staff participates in professional development. There will be no in-person classes today.


WCHS student Jack Kelsay was recently selected to speak at the Indiana State Fair Harvest Dinner, representing 4-H members who were previous State Fair winners!
What an incredible honor and opportunity for one of our Warriors!
Jack shared his 4-H experience and represented his fellow 4-H members and the Warrior community on a very special stage. Jack and his family have made countless memories at the Indiana State Fair through the years, particularly through his goat project, and this opportunity added another unforgettable moment to that journey.
We love seeing our Warriors pursue their passions outside the classroom and have opportunities to represent our community along the way.
Congratulations, Jack, on this well-deserved honor! We are proud of you! 💙🧡🍀
