On Wednesday, November 17, 2010 Justin Lookado presented to approximately 600 students in Clyde CISD.  At the high school Mr. Lookado covered a range of topics including dating and bullying.  After speaking at the high school, he went to the junior high to speak to the 7th and 8th grade classes about character, attitude and values.  Several junior high students received autographed copies of his books.  Thank you Justin for the motivating and challenging messages.

Education Go Get It Week

Education Go Get It Week September 27-October 1, 2010

Clyde CCISD will be celebrating Education: Go Get It! starting Monday, September 27, 2010. Students are encouraged to wear college shirts and Wednesday will be “Hats Off to Education,” students may wear a college hat that day. Students can expect to hear from guest speakers, learn important facts about colleges and careers and hear daily about the importance of continuing to work hard for academic success.

High School Students check out the filing cabinet in the corner of the CHS library for copies of scholarship applications, college information and much more!

Education: Go Get It is designed to enlighten students about the importance of obtaining a high school diploma and continuing educational endeavors beyond high school. On average those obtaining a high school diploma can expect to make about $25,900 per year; those with a 4 year bachelor degree make almost double that amount. (Figures based on information for the Abilene Regional P16 Council). Clyde CCISD Guidance and Counseling wants students to understand that a high school diploma is not only obtainable, but also can be the first step in the process of education.
