Clinton School District -

Today we were honored to hear from Laurie Payne of West Monroe, Louisiana. Laurie shared her family’s heartfelt story of struggle, resilience, and hope as they overcame addiction together. She encouraged students to remember that, just like a pitcher adjusts their grip on the baseball, sometimes in life we have to make adjustments too. Her message was a powerful reminder about the importance of making good choices early and never giving up—no matter how tough the game of life gets. ❤️⚾️

The tardy bell rings at 7:55 a.m. Students arriving after that time must go to the office for a tardy slip.

Please note: all exterior doors lock promptly at 7:55, and only the main office entrance remains open. If you drop your child off after 7:55 and no staff members are outside, your child will be locked out of the building.

💛 Your child’s safety is our top priority — please make sure they arrive on time and are safely inside before the doors lock.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and accounted for! 🐝

🐑 Clinton Student Shines in Fall Livestock Shows 🐐

Now that show season has wrapped up, we’re excited to celebrate the hard work and success of our Clinton FFA students over the past few months! 💛🐝

The Clinton School District is proud to recognize Avery Malabanan for her outstanding success during this fall’s livestock show season. Avery has represented Clinton FFA with excellence in both lamb and goat showing, earning top placements and demonstrating the dedication and work ethic that define our agricultural education students.

Showing livestock requires months of hard work — from early morning feedings to late nights in the barn — and Avery’s achievements reflect her commitment to excellence and her passion for agriculture. Her success is a testament to the skills, responsibility, and leadership that students gain through participation in the Clinton FFA program.

Agriculture is a vital part of both our community and our schools. Through programs like FFA, students gain hands-on experience that teaches them not only about livestock and farming, but also about teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. These lessons extend far beyond the show ring and prepare our students for lifelong success.

The Clinton School District congratulates Avery Malabanan on a fantastic show season and thanks our FFA advisors, families, and community supporters who make these opportunities possible for our students. 💛🐝
