Veterans Day Program number three for the corporation today comes from WCHS. They hosted a small but special luncheon today for a few special guests.

Veterans Day | Honoring Those Who Served

Today, Clark-Pleasant honors the brave men and women who have served our country.
To the veterans within our Warrior community — we are grateful for your service, sacrifice, and dedication.

We are especially proud to share that Whiteland Elementary School has been named a 2025 Indiana Purple Star School, a designation recognizing schools that demonstrate outstanding support for military-connected students and families.

Thank you to our staff, students, and community for creating a culture that honors and supports those who serve.

💙 A Legacy Honored. A Future Built. 💙

Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation hosted a building dedication and naming ceremony on Friday, November 7th to officially open the Ruth Callon Center, a new K–5 trauma and behavior support center designed to serve students across the district.

The center houses Clark-Pleasant’s K–5 Trauma and Behavior Program, which offers a safe, supportive environment designed to help students develop the skills they need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. The program is rooted in trauma-informed care and positive conscious discipline support. The staff is committed to partnering closely with families to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and understood. The building is named in honor of Ruth (Doub) Callon — educator, coach, advocate, and pioneer in girls’ and women’s athletics. Callon spent her life creating opportunities for those who were overlooked or left out. She co-founded Special Olympics in Johnson County, created early women’s athletic programs, and built a legacy grounded in courage, compassion, and action.

The dedication ceremony featured remarks from Superintendent Dr. Tim Edsell, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Cassandra Shipp, Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Executive Director Matt Martin, and Principal Nicole Osborne
One of the event’s defining moments was the presentation of the key to the building from Matt Shultz of The Peterson Company (construction partner) to Principal Osborne, symbolizing the official handoff of the project.

Immediately after, guests gathered outside for:
The unveiling of the building name on the exterior façade
A ribbon cutting ceremony marking the official opening

Principal Nicole Osborne described how the center reflects Ruth Callon’s legacy: “Legacy isn’t just about what we leave — it’s what we build together, day by day, with perseverance and persistence. Every beam, every wall, and every classroom in the Ruth Callon Center represents her spirit.”

The most emotional moment came when Dan Callon, Ruth’s son, shared stories about his mother’s lifelong mission to ensure every person was noticed, valued, and included. “Often, the greatest gift she gave was noticing people,” he said.
“I don’t believe CPCSC could have chosen a better name for this building than the Ruth Callon Center. Our family thanks you and will cherish this honor for generations to come.”

Thank you to all who attended this event and for making this a memorable moment in our corporation.
