From student to staff—Clark-Pleasant builds Warriors for life.
We’re excited to introduce Returning Warrior, a new initiative highlighting employees who graduated from Clark-Pleasant and chose to return to serve the next generation. Their stories speak to the strength of our schools, our culture, and our community.
This program also reflects who we are as an employer: a place people are proud to come back to. If you’re an alumnus considering a career in education or looking for a district that values connection, growth, and purpose, Clark-Pleasant may be the place for you.
Here is one of our Returning Warriors, Hannah Knight. Here story is below.
Hannah is now an Agricultural Science Teacher and FFA Advisor at Whiteland Community High School, the place where the foundation of her Warrior journey was built. She attended Clark Elementary, Clark-Pleasant Middle School, and Whiteland Community High School, graduating in 2010 before continuing her studies at Purdue University.
When Hannah reflects on her years as a CPCSC student, she says it’s extremely hard to choose just one favorite teacher—because so many made an impact on her life. Her Kindergarten teacher, Amy Dougherty, and 7th grade science teacher, Todd Croy, are two who especially stand out from her K–8 years. She also shares that she “absolutely loved” her high school experience, and has special memories from the classes of Chris Kaufman, Luke Skobel, Diana Moorman, Sue Thompson, Jared Huckstep, and Isaac Masih.
One of Hannah’s favorite memories as a student was Homecoming pep sessions in the Glenn Ray Gym. Each class filled their corner of the gym, cheering loudly as they competed in games for the spirit stick. She remembers the excitement of the “loudest class” cheer at the end and how connected everyone felt. She recalls that all students truly participated and felt a part of the event.
Hannah’s decision to return to Clark-Pleasant was inspired by her passion for the Whiteland Ag/FFA program. While she was finishing her degree at Purdue, she learned the program was struggling and enrollment was declining. The idea of the community losing a program that had influenced her—and so many of her peers—was “heartbreaking.” She chose to come home and take on the challenge of rebuilding it.
Today, Hannah loves being part of the Whiteland community and values the relationships she has built with students and their families. As an Ag teacher and FFA advisor, she has the unique experience of teaching many students throughout their entire high school career. She enjoys watching them grow, mature, and find their passion—whether in agriculture or another field.
We are proud that Hannah returned home to Clark-Pleasant Schools. She is a true Returning Warrior. Are you a Returning Warrior? We’d love to feature you. https://lnkd.in/gMDYQAMV

🐾 From Shelter to Shield: Casper’s Story 🐾
A news article published today "From Shelter to Shield" feels especially close to home as we spotlight K9 Casper and his handler, Officer Storm Dreadfulwater-Keller, recently named Officer of the Year for 2025 by the Clark-Pleasant Police Department.
“Casper and I have been a team for a little over a year now. He’s a rescue who came from the Hendricks County shelter — and he was left there not once, but twice. Casper isn’t your typical husky; he doesn’t talk much. Instead, he kind of grumbles when he’s excited and wants attention. But he’s loyal, hardworking, and an incredible partner,” shared Officer Dreadfulwater-Keller.
Casper’s journey from shelter dog to K9 officer reflects the powerful message highlighted in today’s news — when given a second chance, these dogs can find purpose, partnership, and a meaningful role serving their communities.

Today is a special day at Clark-Pleasant—our last day of school before winter break and a heartfelt moment to celebrate a well-deserved retirement. 💙❄️
After joining Clark-Pleasant Community Schools in 1994, Theresa Tester is retiring after more than 27 years of dedicated service. Theresa has proudly served our district in both Transportation and Food Service, most recently as a school bus driver for Break-O-Day and Clark-Pleasant Middle School.
A proud Whiteland Community High School graduate, Theresa’s connection to Clark-Pleasant runs deep. Her children attended CP schools, and today her grandchildren and great-grandchildren continue that legacy. Her commitment to our students and community truly spans generations.
As we head into winter break, we do so with gratitude for Theresa’s years of service, kindness, and dedication. We wish her all the best in this next chapter and thank her for everything she has done for Clark-Pleasant. 💙🚌✨
Enjoy your retirement, Theresa—you will be missed!

Hands down, the cutest play we’ve seen in a long time!
On Thursday, December 18, Amber Buller’s preschoolers took the stage for their Gingerbread Kids play—and absolutely stole the show.
These little performers had their lines memorized, wore adorable costumes (many they helped create themselves!), and used the sweetest props to bring the story to life. Even better, their families filled the room, cheering them on and celebrating every moment.
What a special reminder of the magic that happens in our classrooms every day—where creativity, confidence, and joy shine bright. Bravo to our Gingerbread Kids and a huge thank-you to Ms. Buller for creating such a memorable experience!
