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!

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.

Students in Mrs. Cavalier's Biology class are diving into the world of microscopy! Today, they practiced basic microscope skills—starting with the letter e to see ink up close on paper, then moving on to a prepared slide. Tomorrow, they’ll be exploring a live slide! We love seeing hands-on learning in action and the curiosity it sparks!
