Whiteland Band Director Honored!
HUGE congratulations to WCHS Band Director, Pete Sampson!
Mr. Sampson has been inducted into the Phi Beta Mu International Bandmasters' Fraternity, the highest honorary international band director’s fraternity! This honor is earned by directors who lead consistently superior bands and demonstrate incredible professional leadership.
Membership in Phi Beta Mu is not simply granted; it is earned through rigorous selection criteria, signifying exceptional success and professional leadership. To be considered, a band director must:
* Currently lead a consistently superior band.
*Demonstrate leadership and contribute to the progress of bands through publications, compositions, dissertations, or outstanding performances.
*Hold a reputation for impeccable personal character.
Upon receiving the news, Mr. Sampson expressed his gratitude and perspective on the achievement:
"This is a big honor in our profession and I am beyond grateful to have been inducted this past weekend. Becoming a member of Phi Beta Mu is known nationally as being an honor given to those who have been successful with their band program and thus earned the respect of their peers.
I look at this honor as a reflection of our band program here at Whiteland and all of the hard work our students put into creating musical excellence in all that we do. I love to teach music each day here at Clark-Pleasant and couldn't ask for a better support system from our community and school district."
We are so proud to have this level of musical leadership at Whiteland Community High School!
(More about this honor will be shared in our NEW corporation newsletter, The Clark-Pleasant Chronicle, which will be pushed out later this month!)

The Sensory Path at the Ruth Callon Center is officially complete!
A sensory path is a series of movement activities placed on walls and floors that students can follow to help their bodies and brains reset. As they jump, balance, stretch, and follow visual cues, students are actively engaging their senses — helping them regulate, refocus, and get ready to learn.
This short 1–2 minute experience can be used for transitions, brain breaks, or anytime a student needs help getting back on track. When bodies are regulated, brains are ready!
We’re excited to offer another supportive tool that helps our students succeed at the Ruth Callon Center.

Last night, Iridescence, Expressions, and Rhythm Masters kicked off the Pacers game in an incredible way—by singing the National Anthem at Gainbridge Fieldhouse!
We had over 150 Whiteland community members in attendance to cheer them on, and our students absolutely shined.
Thank you to our Whiteland Community High School Choirs for representing our schools with such talent and pride! 💙🤍

Mathletes doing big things at WCHS! 🤓
From the AMC 12A to Math Day @ Franklin College, our students have been showing off their skills and passion for math.
In early November, seven Warriors tackled the rigorous 2025 American Mathematics Competition 12A exam:
Rhys Williams, Ashley Cooprider, CJ Napier, Mia Kuchaes, Madison Fleury, Cooper Adams, and Grady Rouse.
Special shoutout to Rhys Williams for leading the way!
Later in November, 17 students represented WCHS at Math Day @ Franklin College, competing in teams of three during a 2-hour, 6-question challenge. With a mean score of 19 and a median of 15, our top team — Will Watson and CJ Napier — placed 22nd out of 56 teams!
And a big cheer for freshman Faith Blue, who took on “So You Think You Know Math?” and finished 3rd out of 8!
Huge thanks to Mr. Tim Fish for inspiring and supporting our math-loving Warriors! 💙📐

Real-world science in action!
Last week, Taylor Tatlock’s AP Environmental Science students visited Franklin College for an inspiring day of learning. Dr. O’Neal shared research conducted by both faculty and students and how their findings connect to environmental trends across different states and countries.
Students also had the chance to hear college researchers present their work on stream health right here in Franklin, IN.
What an incredible opportunity to see environmental science come alive beyond the classroom!
