We are asking all HS families to please take a few minutes to complete an important parent survey as part of our Perkins V Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA), which is required for districts that access Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) funds.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable. The information you provide will help us develop a thoughtful plan to strengthen and grow our CTE programs. Our goal is to ensure these programs align with the needs of our students, families, local workforce, and community.
Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. Your honest feedback will directly impact the future direction of CTE opportunities in our district.

Students in Mr. Pate’s dual credit Western Civilization I and dual credit U.S. History to 1877 took their learning beyond the classroom with an amazing visit to the Iowa State Historical Museum!
During their trip, students explored Civil War documents connected to Iowa’s role in the war with connections to soldiers from Clarke County.
Seeing these primary sources up close made history feel real and meaningful for our learners. What an incredible opportunity for our students to deepen their understanding of the past and connect it to their coursework. Great job, Mr. Pate and students!

Last week, 24 Clarke students joined nearly 500 other students from across Southern Iowa at Graceland University's Ag-Business Day. Agriculture students got to explore different careers in agriculture while business students participated in a one day business simulation where they had to develop, market and sell their products.
Today in Mr. Pate’s History class, students stepped back in time for a public forum debate! Taking sides as Federalists and Anti-Federalists, they passionately argued whether the Constitution should be accepted.
Students impressed with their public speaking skills, quick thinking, and thoughtful arguments — well done, everyone!

Clarke High School students visited Graceland University last week to explore what a private college can be like. Students provided impromptu performances in their Auditorium, toured their arts and sciences buildings, learned about their unique housing system, and got to check out their brand new weight-lifting facility for student athletes.
Our very own Vivian Hawxby, Taylor Kent, Kenley Chesnut, Jovee Blakely and Klaire Blackford will be presenting today between 1:45-2:00pm CST at the National FFA Convention & Expo! Click the link below and select Channel 7 to watch them live:

Yesterday, the Clarke High School Student Council hosted a blood drive, and our students showed up in a big way! Many are working toward earning their Red Cord for graduation by donating 5 times — a true mark of service and compassion.
We’re thrilled to share that there were 8 new donors and 19 units of blood collected — that’s enough to save or sustain 57 lives! 💪👏
Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this event a success.
