🎉 It’s NATIONAL MASCOT DAY, and we’re celebrating one of the rarest mascots in the country — the CLAREMORE ZEBRAS! 🦓❤️🤍
There are only four high schools in the entire United States with a zebra mascot — and Claremore is the only one in Oklahoma! That’s right — we’re part of an elite herd! 🦓
The Zebra name was born in the 1920s, when Claremore’s football team took the field in brand-new striped jerseys. A spectator shouted, “They look like a bunch of zebras!” — and the name stuck!
Fun fact: those first striped uniforms were actually purple and gold! But in 1930, during the Great Depression, Superintendent Homer C. Heard chose a more affordable combo: red shirts and white khaki pants. That budget-friendly decision gave us our forever school colors — RED and WHITE! 🔴⚪
While other schools have Tigers, Cardinals, and Eagles… Claremore proudly stands out with STRIPES. 🦓
It’s a GREAT day to be a ZEBRA!

Last month, we honored three incredible women who are closing one chapter and beginning a beautiful new one. Mrs. Coffey, Mrs. M, and Ms. Phyllis were celebrated with a heartfelt retirement reception after school, surrounded by friends, laughter, and lots of love.
Together, these amazing ladies have devoted over 75 years to education—touching hearts, shaping young minds, and making a lasting difference in the lives of so many students.
Retirement from education isn’t just the end of a career—it’s the celebration of a lifetime of love, learning, and legacy.
We are so thankful for the passion, patience, and dedication each of these women brought to our school. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will be felt for years to come.
Happy Retirement, Mrs. Coffey, Mrs. M, and Ms. Phyllis!

Senior Walk 2025 🖤🤍❤️
One of our favorite traditions each year — the Senior Walk — is always a sweet and emotional one! 🎓 Our Catalayah Zebras came back to walk the halls one last time, and we loved cheering them on and celebrating all they’ve accomplished.
It’s so special to see those familiar faces return, a little taller and ready to take on the world. 💫 Whether they’re heading to college, careers, or other adventures, we are so proud of each and every one of them.
Once a Zebra, always a Zebra! 🦓
Good luck, Class of 2025 — the best is yet to come!

Track & Field Day…with a Twist!
Track and Field Day looked a little different this year thanks to some rainy weather, but that didn’t stop the fun! ☔️🏃♀️🎉
Instead of racing on the track, we brought the excitement indoors with some brand-new stations that were a total hit! From karaoke that brought out our inner rockstars, to bingo battles, face painting fun, and hilarious improv games — the energy was off the charts! 🎤🎨😂
It may have been a soggy day outside, but inside we made memories, laughed hard, and had an absolute blast! Thanks to everyone who helped make our rainy day Track & Field a total win!

Dear Parents, Teachers, and Staff,
Our school flowerbeds are in need of a little TLC! We’ve got quite a few weeds and dead plants that need clearing out, and we’re hoping to gather some helping hands to get the job done.
If you have any gardening tools (like gloves, rakes, trowels, or weeders) and can spare an hour of your time, we’d greatly appreciate your help. You’ll see where others have already pitched in—just pick up where they left off!
This is a great opportunity to beautify our campus and show some school spirit. As they say, many hands make light work!
