CPCSC Early Release Day Wednesday, May 28, 2025!
Clark-Pleasant Schools will have an Early Release Day on Wednesday, May 28, 2025
The Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association
(ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award (EGA) for calendar year 2024 for demonstrating an outstanding
commitment to student success and professional learning.
Only 124 school boards in the State of Indiana earned awards through the EGA program this year.
The awards are conferred annually across four levels of distinction based on the points earned by school board
members for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the
completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to
elevate student achievement outcomes.
“On behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this most exceptional group of school boards and school board
members,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. “School boards perform a vital public service for their
communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to
govern effectively and meet the needs of students.”
Award recipients were formally recognized at ISBA’s Spring Regional Meetings during the month of May.
In addition to the board-level accolades, 239 school board members earned individual EGA awards.
ISBA provides a full range of professional learning opportunities at dozens of events throughout the year to
inform and educate school board members about best practices, legislative issues, policy development, school
law, and more.
For a complete list of individual and board award recipients for the 2024 award year, please visit

We also have athletes moving on to the regionals in at least 12 events, with a chance of someone advancing in all 16 (we have to wait for other sectionals to finish tonight to see who will get call-backs).
This is the 2nd year in a row that the girls' team has won the County, Conference, and Sectional Championship!

Peace Officers Memorial Day, which every year falls on May 15, specifically honors law enforcement officers killed or disabled in the line of duty. Thanks to all of our Clark-Pleasant police officers and staff for all you do each day.
A publishing picnic recently took place at Pleasant Crossing Elementary School. Fourth-grade students, accompanied by two invited guests each, spread out blankets and enjoyed a sunny picnic, featuring delicious donations from Crumbl Cookies.
Mrs. Jaida Fishback, a fourth-grade writing teacher at Pleasant Crossing Elementary, received a grant that benefits all students at the school.
The Clark-Pleasant Education Foundation applied for and successfully received this grant through DonorsChoose.org as part of a Classroom Resource Grants educational initiative. The additional resources from this grant will enhance and support educational opportunities within our writing classrooms. Every writing teacher collaborates with their students to create a book that allows them to express their ideas creatively. This project culminates in a family picnic at the end of the year. Mrs. Fishback has expressed her goal of making this activity bigger and better each year, and so far, that seems to be happening..
