Clark-Pleasant Schools Plan for Solar Eclipse
Dear Clark-Pleasant Families,
We would like to make you aware that a total solar eclipse will take place April 8, 2024. This eclipse will reach across 16 states but will be most prominent in Central Indiana, especially in Johnson County. Therefore like many nearby school districts, we are making plans for a "live," synchronous E-Learning Day on 04/08/2024. We are making this decision out of an abundance of caution as the eclipse will take place in Indiana for over several hours. Additionally, we are being told by local emergency management officials that there will be a significant influx of visitors coming to Johnson County during this time period creating major concerns with transportation and congestion. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to your respective school building administrators.
Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy Edsell
Superintendent
Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation

4-1st Place FFA Winners Heading to State!!!
Tuesday 4 of our FFA members participated in the District FFA Proficiency Contest. This involves creating and showcasing a portfolio of skills learned through their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) work based program in agriculture. Congratulations are in order because all 4 of these members earned 1st Place in their category and will be advancing to the State Contest!
We also want to note, two of these young men are sophomores. It's rare that sophomores have enough hours and experience to win at the district level, so we are extremely proud of them!
