Clark-Pleasant Leaders Join Governor for Signing of House Bill 1104 Clark-Pleasant leaders recently stood alongside the Honorable Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb at the Statehouse for the signing of House Bill 1104. Dr. Edsell, Chief Chad Pryce, and Officer Shari Mullins were invited as guests of State Representative Michelle Davis. The bill sets guidelines for safety plans during armed intruder drills and allows School Police Departments to participate in the 1977 Police Pension Plan. Officer Mullins and Chief Pryce previously testified in support of the bill in the Senate and House. This new provision is expected to benefit school resource officers both personally and professionally, aiding in the recruitment and retention of experienced and qualified Police Officers.

Innovative-Groundbreaking Program Announced for WCHS!!! A partnership is announced between Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation and The Howard Companies construction firm. “After 18 months of hard work and collaboration a ceremony was held at Whiteland Community High School this week where we were presented a check for 25,000 dollars to launch a civil construction pathway program”, says WCHS Principal, Duke Lines. The new civil construction pathway program will begin to equip Whiteland Community High School students with the skills and credentials necessary to be employable and ready to join the workforce or continue their certifications upon graduation. The $25,000 contribution from Howard Companies goes straight into the program to help sponsor and pay for all necessary items for the students to be successful. “We realize that students should have the opportunity to start a career path and earn college credit while in high school. This partnership allows students to earn college credit and certification while in high school to start a career immediately after graduation," stated Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Cassandra Shipp. Dr. Shipp says students will begin hands-on experiences working in the construction trades while still in high school, paving the way for a bright and well-paying future immediately out of high school. “The school corporation commends Howard Companies for this visionary approach to preparing students for successful careers and we look forward to our ongoing relationship”, stated CPCSC Superintendent Dr. Tim Edsell. Several students with interest in the program attended the check presentation ceremony.

On this Thankful Thursday, I want to say "Thank You!" to Dr. Edsell, Dr. Shipp, and the Clark-Pleasant Community School Board for surprising me last night at the school board meeting with an award for Recognition Of Excellence in Education. I went to the school board meeting to share an annual review of all the wonderful things CPEF has done this last school year and to hear my contract for an additional role I will be doing this upcoming school year get voted it, but I was completely unaware that I was also getting an award. What a wonderful surprise! I am so grateful of all the recognition I have received from the school in the last month. I am truly honored.
