Clark-Pleasant Community Schools – E-Learning Day
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Due to inclement weather, all Clark-Pleasant school buildings will be CLOSED tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
However, students WILL participate in a SYNCHRONOUS (LIVE) e-Learning Day.
🔹 What this means for families:
Students do NOT report to school buildings
Students WILL log in from home to attend live online classes with their teachers
The State of Indiana allows schools to use three asynchronous e-learning days, where students complete work independently. Those days have already been used. As a result, we are now operating under Synchronous (Live) e-Learning, which requires students to log in and participate in real-time instruction.
Each school will be sending families specific schedule and login information so students know when and where to join their live sessions.
Thank you for your flexibility and partnership as we keep students learning while keeping everyone safe.
Tune in TONIGHT!
Our Wrestlers Peyton Nedelsky and Marin Wigginton along with Coach Nedelsky will be on WISH-TV with Anthony Calhoun tonight at 6:30pm!
The Whiteland Community High School Nutrition Pathway students took their learning beyond the classroom by cooking lunch for the Whiteland Fire Department A Shift!
Students planned a nutritionally balanced meal tailored to the demands of a working firefighter meeting state standards from start to finish. After prepping in our classroom kitchens, they headed to the firehouse to prepare Hawaiian Chicken with peppers and onions, coconut rice, and Hawaiian butter mochi for dessert. The menu delivered protein for muscle repair, carbohydrates for energy, and essential vitamins and minerals to support peak performance plus coconut milk to help make nutrients more bioavailable.
Beyond cooking, students connected with firefighters and learned the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and relying on one another’s strengths to achieve shared goals. This partnership gives students hands-on experience planning, preparing, and scaling meals for specific dietary needs while serving others in our community.
We’re excited to see this partnership grow and these skills continue to develop in the weeks ahead! More information about this partnership will be shared in our bi-weekly corporation newsletter The Clark-Pleasant Chronicle 👩🍳👨🍳🚒

💙 Future Warriors—this is where your story begins. We can’t wait to meet the Class of 2030!
We’re excited to introduce Returning Warrior, a new initiative highlighting employees who graduated from Clark-Pleasant and chose to return to serve the next generation. Their stories speak to the strength of our schools, our culture, and our community.
This program also reflects who we are as an employer: a place people are proud to come back to. If you’re an alumnus considering a career in education or looking for a district that values connection, growth, and purpose, Clark-Pleasant may be the place for you.
Here is one of our Returning Warriors, Hannah Knight. Here story is below.
Hannah is now an Agricultural Science Teacher and FFA Advisor at Whiteland Community High School, the place where the foundation of her Warrior journey was built. She attended Clark Elementary, Clark-Pleasant Middle School, and Whiteland Community High School, graduating in 2010 before continuing her studies at Purdue University.
When Hannah reflects on her years as a CPCSC student, she says it’s extremely hard to choose just one favorite teacher—because so many made an impact on her life. Her Kindergarten teacher, Amy Dougherty, and 7th grade science teacher, Todd Croy, are two who especially stand out from her K–8 years. She also shares that she “absolutely loved” her high school experience, and has special memories from the classes of Chris Kaufman, Luke Skobel, Diana Moorman, Sue Thompson, Jared Huckstep, and Isaac Masih.
One of Hannah’s favorite memories as a student was Homecoming pep sessions in the Glenn Ray Gym. Each class filled their corner of the gym, cheering loudly as they competed in games for the spirit stick. She remembers the excitement of the “loudest class” cheer at the end and how connected everyone felt. She recalls that all students truly participated and felt a part of the event.
Hannah’s decision to return to Clark-Pleasant was inspired by her passion for the Whiteland Ag/FFA program. While she was finishing her degree at Purdue, she learned the program was struggling and enrollment was declining. The idea of the community losing a program that had influenced her—and so many of her peers—was “heartbreaking.” She chose to come home and take on the challenge of rebuilding it.
Today, Hannah loves being part of the Whiteland community and values the relationships she has built with students and their families. As an Ag teacher and FFA advisor, she has the unique experience of teaching many students throughout their entire high school career. She enjoys watching them grow, mature, and find their passion—whether in agriculture or another field.
We are proud that Hannah returned home to Clark-Pleasant Schools. She is a true Returning Warrior. Are you a Returning Warrior? We’d love to feature you. https://lnkd.in/gMDYQAMV

On Tuesday, December 17th, we were proud to host a special breakfast for our Early College students as a small way to celebrate their hard work and dedication.
In today’s global society, a high school diploma is just the first step in a student’s educational journey. Our Early College Program removes academic, financial, and psychological barriers by providing enhanced supports that help students thrive—both academically and personally.
By earning college credit while still in high school, students shorten the time it takes to complete a degree and open doors to future success. The Early College Program truly turns obstacles into opportunities, and we are proud to support these students every step of the way!
Senior Night at Whiteland Community High School
Last night, we proudly celebrated our WCHS Girls Basketball seniors and all they have given to their team, school, and community. Their dedication, leadership, and hard work—both on and off the court—have helped shape this program and inspire those who follow in their footsteps.
Thank you, seniors, for the memories, the effort, and the heart you’ve brought to Whiteland Basketball. We wish you the very best as you take the next step in your journey!

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:
