🎉 BIG NEWS FOR WARRIOR NATION! 🎉

We are incredibly excited to share that Clark-Pleasant’s Teacher of the Year, Dana Camp, has been named one of the TOP 25 for the 2027 Indiana Teacher of the Year! 🏆🍎

Dana is representing Clark-Pleasant among some of the very best educators from across Indiana, and we could not be more proud! 💙🧡

Those who know Dana know the passion, dedication, and heart she brings to her students and our school community each and every day. This statewide recognition is an incredible honor and so well deserved!

Please help us give Dana a HUGE Warrior Nation congratulations as she continues in the 2027 Indiana Teacher of the Year program! 👏👏👏

And as just one small example of what makes Dana so special, we included a photo from this past May when members of the Class of 2026 returned to Whiteland Elementary for their senior walk. Dana made a special certificate for each graduating senior she had taught and was there to celebrate them as they returned to their elementary school one final time. ❤️🎓

We are so proud of you, Dana, and we’ll be cheering you on!

💙🚓 What a Night, Warrior Nation! | National Night Out 2026 🚒🧡

Our community showed up for National Night Out last night at the Whiteland Soccer Complex, and what a great evening it was!

Families had the opportunity to meet and spend time with the officers and first responders who serve our community while enjoying emergency vehicle displays, community booths, games and activities, a bounce house, raffle prizes, music, food, horse-drawn carriage rides and so much more!

There were some pretty impressive things to see, too — from police and fire vehicles to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad and SWAT vehicle, K9 teams, police cadets, and first responders from throughout our community. 🚓🚒🐕‍🦺

We were also grateful to have so many local businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, food vendors, and partners join us and help make the evening special. Thank you to every organization, vendor, volunteer, and first responder who participated — there were so many who helped make the night possible!

Most importantly, National Night Out is about building relationships. It gives our families an opportunity to meet the people who help keep our community safe, ask questions, make connections, and strengthen the partnerships that make our community a great place to live, work, and learn.

A HUGE thank you to the Clark-Pleasant Police Department for bringing everyone together, and thank you to our Warrior families and community members who came out and joined us! 🧡💙

💙🧡 Behind Every Great School Day: Meet Charmayne Davis

Every school has people whose work often goes unseen—but whose impact is felt by everyone.

At Clark-Pleasant, one of those people is Charmayne Davis, Assistant to our Maintenance & Facilities Director.

Charmayne's journey began in July 2007 as a substitute custodian during a season of personal change. What started as a job became a calling. Through hard work and dedication, she served as a second-shift custodian, Head Custodian at Sawmill Woods Elementary, office assistant, and today supports our entire Maintenance and Custodial Department.

She keeps countless pieces moving each day—from payroll and scheduling substitute custodians to ordering supplies, processing invoices, coordinating services, and supporting the incredible custodial and maintenance teams that care for our schools.

While many people never see the work happening behind the scenes, Charmayne knows just how much it takes to keep a school corporation running.

💬 "I have learned that it takes a village to keep all of this running smoothly and effectively. I work with an incredible team of administrators and staff that accomplish this."

Although her role has changed over the years, her heart for students never has.

One of her favorite parts of the week is welcoming a group of Whiteland Community High School students who come to help with custodial duties.

💬 "I love getting to know them and the staff that bring them. They are a fantastic group."

When asked about the memory she'll always treasure, her answer wasn't about a project or a building—it was about one student.

As Head Custodian at Sawmill Woods Elementary, Charmayne invited a student to help her raise the American flag each morning whenever he had demonstrated good behavior the day before. It became a special tradition they both looked forward to.

When he moved on to Pleasant Crossing Elementary, he and his teacher surprised her with a photo album filled with pictures of the two of them proudly raising the flag together.

💬 "He was all smiles in those pictures. I still get that photo album out and look at those pictures."

Sometimes the moments that seem small at the time become the ones that stay with us forever.

Outside of work, Charmayne enjoys cooking, spending time with her family, and making memories with her husband of nearly 50 years.

Nearly 20 years after first joining Clark-Pleasant, Charmayne is still serving others with the same humility and dedication that started her journey.

The classrooms may not know her name, but they benefit from her work every single day.

Thank you, Charmayne, for your servant's heart, your unwavering commitment, and for reminding us that some of the greatest impacts happen quietly, behind the scenes.

💙 We are proud to have you as part of the Warrior family.

This Tuesday, August 4, our Clark-Pleasant Police Department is hosting National Night Out 2026, and we would love to see our Warrior community come out in a BIG way!

Our Clark-Pleasant police officers do so much more than help keep our schools safe. They build relationships with our students, support our staff and families, serve our community, and show up every single day ready to do whatever is needed.

As Chief Pryce recently shared:

💬 “Every day, they invest their time, energy, and compassion to ensure the safety and well-being of those they serve.”

For the past several years, our officers have also dedicated countless hours to making National Night Out a fun, welcoming evening for our entire community.

Now it’s our turn to show up for them. 💙

💙🧡 Happy (Belated) National Intern Day! 🧡💙

Today we're celebrating two incredible young women who have made a lasting impact on Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation and the Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation.

Kylie McGovern has been with us for three years, beginning as a Whiteland Community High School student and continuing through college. Now a junior at IU Indianapolis studying Marketing, Kylie is pursuing a career in sports marketing and is excited for the opportunities ahead. While she'll continue to lend her talents to the Education Foundation, this marks the end of her time with the school corporation.

Sophie Rinehold has spent the past two summers with us, bringing creativity, organization, and a willingness to jump into any project. Now a junior at Purdue University studying Business Analytics and Information Management (BAIM), Sophie has been an invaluable member of our team, always eager to learn and ready to take on whatever comes her way.

Together, these two have done far more than "intern." They've designed brochures, mailers, flyers, website graphics, social media content, and many of the printed materials our community sees throughout the year—from our summer bulk mailer to informational brochures, event materials, and countless graphics. They've taken photos, run errands, helped plan ribbon cuttings and groundbreaking ceremonies, supported New Teacher Orientation, assisted with events, and worked alongside our Business Office scanning documents, compiling reports, and entering data. No matter the task, they were always willing to jump in and help.

Quite simply, they have been invaluable.

But what makes Kylie and Sophie so special isn't just their talent or work ethic—it's who they are. They are kind, dependable, creative, and always willing to help wherever they're needed. Watching them grow into the remarkable young professionals they are becoming has been one of the greatest joys of our internship program.

On a personal note, one of my favorite parts of serving as Clark-Pleasant's Communications Coordinator has been working alongside and mentoring Kylie and Sophie. I've had the opportunity to watch them grow from students into confident, talented young professionals, and I couldn't be more proud of who they have become. Their creativity, work ethic, positive attitudes, and willingness to learn have made them true teammates—not just interns.

While it's bittersweet to see this chapter come to an end, I know they have bright futures ahead. Thank you, Kylie and Sophie, for making our team better, for making me laugh, and for reminding me every day why investing in the next generation is so important. It has truly been an honor to work alongside you both. No matter where your careers take you, you'll always be part of the Warrior family. And if your path ever leads you back to Clark-Pleasant, we'd welcome you with open arms.

— Jenny Zahm, Communications Coordinator

Thank you, Kylie and Sophie, for everything you've done for Warrior Nation. We are so grateful for your hard work and can't wait to see all that you'll accomplish in the years ahead.

Once a Warrior, always a Warrior. 💙🧡

#NationalInternDay #WarriorNation #ClarkPleasantProud #FutureLeaders

🍽️ Welcome to the new heart of Whiteland Community High School! 💙🧡

As students settled into the new school year, they also got to experience one of the most anticipated spaces in the new addition for the very first time—the brand new WCHS cafeteria!

Designed with students in mind, this bright, welcoming space features abundant natural light, expanded seating, and a variety of table options so every student can find a place where they feel comfortable. Whether it's gathering with a large group of friends, sitting in a booth, grabbing a seat at a high-top, or enjoying lunch with a smaller group, there's truly a place for everyone.

The cafeteria is filled with Warrior Pride, featuring tables branded with our school colors and logos, along with thoughtful touches like backpack hooks to help keep the space organized and comfortable.

The improvements go far beyond what you can see. Expanded serving lines and nearly twice the number of checkout registers help students move through lunch more efficiently, giving them more time to eat and connect with friends. The new dedicated allergy-friendly kitchen and preparation area also provides an even more comprehensive space to safely prepare meals for students with food allergies.

While the space itself is incredible, what makes it truly special are the people behind it. We are incredibly thankful for the dedication of our Food Service Department, especially Lauren Jones, our Director of Food Service, her team at the Administration Building, Donna Magness, Food Service Manager at Whiteland Community High School, and the entire WCHS cafeteria staff. They spent countless hours this summer preparing a brand-new kitchen, organizing equipment, stocking supplies, and making sure everything was ready so students could enjoy a successful first day of lunch. Their hard work, flexibility, and commitment made this exciting milestone possible, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Although the cafeteria is officially open and serving students, there are still several exciting additions planned in the coming months. We can't wait to continue sharing the transformation with you as this incredible space continues to come to life.

#WarriorNation #WCHS #ClarkPleasantProud #BuildingTheFuture

What a beautiful morning to kick off the 2026-2027 school year! ☀️💙🧡

Our buses rolled in, our hallways filled with excitement, and our students were welcomed with smiles, high-fives, and plenty of first-day energy. Dr. Shipp was there greeting students as they arrived, helping make the first day one to remember!

We were also excited to welcome Channel 13, who stopped by to capture some of the first-day buzz and all the excitement happening across Warrior Nation.

The first day always brings a fresh start, new opportunities, and a lot of excitement for the year ahead. We can't wait to see all the amazing things our students and staff will accomplish this school year.

Welcome back, Warriors! Let's make it a great year! 💙🧡

#WarriorNation #FirstDayOfSchool #ClarkPleasantProud

Please join us in welcoming Jacob Hildebrandt as the new Assistant Principal at Whiteland Elementary School!

Jacob joins Clark-Pleasant after spending the past seven years in Franklin Township, where he taught first, second, and third grade before most recently serving as the Dean of Students at a K–3 elementary school.

His passion for education comes from a simple but powerful goal: helping every student develop a love of learning.

"I decided to become an educator to help every student love to learn, and I love being able to do that every day through every interaction I have with students," Jacob shared. "I am eager to support and assist every student, staff member, and community member I have the opportunity to work with."

Outside of school, Jacob enjoys spending time with his parents, especially relaxing at the lake—whether that's out on the water or gathered around a bonfire. Education has always been a family affair, as his mom has been an educator for more than 35 years and his dad is a retired school bus driver.

"I am so excited to join the Clark-Pleasant family and get to know everyone I come in contact with. Thank you to everyone who has already made me feel so welcome. I look forward to getting to know you all soon!"

Welcome to Warrior Nation, Jacob! We're excited to have you at Whiteland Elementary and can't wait to see the positive impact you'll make on our students, staff, and families.
