We are thrilled to announce that our Winter Sports season is just around the corner, with a kick-off date of November 13th! If your student is eager to participate in this exciting season, we've got all the details you need to get them ready. To ensure your student's participation, please complete the necessary athletic registration forms in Skyward. You can find detailed instructions on our CHS Athletics Page. Each student must have these forms completed and a current physical on file with the school. This is essential to ensure their safety and well-being while they participate in our Winter Sports activities. Once the forms are completed, your student will need to obtain a "Red Card" from Mr. Wilson. This card is a crucial requirement for participation, and no student will be able to join the fun without it. The good news is that Mr. Wilson is already distributing these cards, so your student can head over to him right away to get theirs. We look forward to kicking off another exciting season! For try-out information please visit our Sport Schedules page. GO BANTAMS!

At approximately 9:00 this morning, Clarkston High School and Parkway Elementary School were placed on a “secure” building protocol due to planned police activity in the area. This means that the doors to the school are locked and students remain in the school with normal activities occurring. At no time were students in any danger and securing the building is done as a proactive safety measure whenever there is police activity near the school that may warrant securing the building.
