💙🧡 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. 💙🧡

🍽️ 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.

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!"

🚀🌟 Reach for the stars, Ezra! 🌟🚀
Congratulations to Clark-Pleasant Middle School student Ezra Montague, a rising 8th grader, on earning a prestigious Academic Excellence Scholarship to attend NASA Space Academy in Huntsville, Alabama!
From a challenging scholarship application to serving as Mission Commander during a simulated lunar mission, Ezra's curiosity, perseverance, and leadership truly set him apart. We couldn't be more proud of the way he represented our Warrior community and embraced this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The best part? Ezra's journey all started with a little encouragement from his grandmother—a reminder that believing in someone can help them accomplish amazing things.
Way to go, Ezra! We can't wait to see where your dreams take you next. 💙💫
A special thank you to Erika Malone and the Daily Journal for sharing Ezra's inspiring story with our community.
