CPCSC will be on a 2-Hour Delay Tomorrow, Monday, December 15th
Due to cold temperatures and poor road conditions, Clark-Pleasant Community Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay. Additional details may be shared by your child’s school or teacher.
Clark-Pleasant Community Schools will be CLOSED today, Friday, December 12th, due to inclement weather. Today will be a SYNCHRONOUS (LIVE) eLearning Day
As a reminder, the State of Indiana only allows schools to use three asynchronous e-learning days in which students log-in on their own and complete work without access to a teacher. We have utilized those days and now switch to "Synchronous (live) Learning". This means that your child will need to log-in to join the live sessions during the day. Information will be sent out by each school with more information about schedules and times.
WCHS BAND CONCERT FOR TONIGHT IS CANCELLED!
UPDATE: We have rescheduled our concert for Monday, December 15th at 7:30PM in the WCHS North Main Gym.
After talking with our building administration again, we received good news! While the gym is still out of commission for tonight, we are fortunate that it will be back up and running by next week. As a result, we are going to reschedule our band concert for next Monday, December 15th at 7:30PM in the north gym. Our start time is later in an effort to accomodate families who have students performing in the beginning band concert at CPMS earlier that night. Student call time will be 7:00PM in the band room. We understand that changes like this are challenging for families; we greatly appreciate your flexibility in helping our students have a high-quality performance opportunity. Please reach out to Mr. Sampson (psampson@cpcsc.k12.in.us) or Mr. Dostalik (adostalik@cpcsc.k12.in.us) if you have any questions!
Good afternoon,
Due to sprinkler issues in the athletic spaces of the WCHS North Building, we and the high school administration have made the difficult decision to cancel this evening's high school band concert. Because of the proximity to winter break, impending winter storms, and additional conflicting performances in the corporation, we are unable to reschedule this event in person. Please direct any questions to Pete Sampson or Adam Dostalik.
Sincerely,
Pete Sampson and Adam Dostalik
WCHS Band Directors
Holiday spirit in action!
Yesterday morning, 40 WCHS Student Council members spent their day spreading joy throughout Central Indiana as part of the Ray Skillman Foundation’s Clothe A Child event. Together, our students helped shop for 240 children, ensuring brighter holidays and warm winter days ahead.
We’re so proud of their generosity, kindness, and commitment to serving others.
WTHR did a story last night that included some of our kids shopping. You can watch that here:

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!)

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! 💙🤍
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! 💙📐

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!
Today, our Intensive Resource Department hosted their annual Thanksgiving Feast, a tradition filled with gratitude, togetherness, and the joy of sharing a meal with the students and families we cherish so deeply. There’s nothing quite like coming together as a community — especially around the Thanksgiving table.

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.
💜 Proud to Announce: Whiteland Community High School is a 2025 Indiana Purple Star School! 💜
We are honored to be recognized as a 2025 Indiana Purple Star School, a designation awarded to schools that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to supporting service members, veterans, and military-connected students and families.
This recognition reflects the dedication of our staff, students, and community to ensuring that those who serve — and their families — are welcomed, supported, and celebrated at Whiteland Community High School.
Thank you to our military families for the sacrifices you make and the strength you bring to our community. We are proud to support you today and always.
Here are some photos of the memorial walls that were installed at the high school last year.
