A note from Mrs. Cureton:

This week on campus, we were able to celebrate the hard work of our teachers from beginning of the year until now. We are so thankful to have an amazing teaching staff and supportive families at Clarkston! If you have a moment to send a quick note of appreciation to your child's teacher, please do so-they deserve all the praise and gratitude! Thank you, families, for supporting our school, staff, and students.
