COUNTDOWN TO GRADUATION - 17 Days brought to you by Mrs. Amber Revis and her daughter Paiten. Mrs. Reavis is the Art teacher at Roosa where she has been for 8 years. Although she is not a CHS alumn she is married to one. Paiten is surrounded by family at CPS including her Grandma - Belinda Reavis who works in the athletic department and her Aunt Randa Reavis Fay who is the principal at Claremont. Her fondest memory of Paiten at CPS is watching her represent in a Claremore Zebra uniform. Seeing her grow and excel in both Softball and Track has been so rewarding. Her coaches and the connections they have are a HUGE part of her success as a Zebra! Paiten began her Zebra career in 2nd grade at Roosa and continued it at WRJH and CHS. She is active in athletics (softball and track), Christian Club, and the National Honor Society. Paiten has taken advantage of both the AP/PreAP classes and concurrent enrollment at RSU. Athletics is probably what she will remember most. In her junior year, the team won Softball Regionals and made a semi-final appearance at State. She also went to State in track and stood on the podium in 3 events. It was such a memorable year with her teammates and coaches! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

COUNTDOWN TO GRADUATION - 18 Days brought to you by the Hurt Family. Jarreka Hurt has been a Zebra since Pre-K. She’s attended Claremont & Catalayah Elementary, WRJH, and CHS. Active in athletics, Christian Club, FCA, FUZE, Native American Student Association, National Honor Society, Student Council, Spirit Squad, Red Army, and Young Republican - this girl bleeds #ZebraRed! The thing that she will remember most about her experience at CPS is the assemblies held at the high school. Both of Jarreka’s parents are CPS employees. Coach and Mrs. LaRonna Hurt have been a huge part of the CPS system for 14 years. Coach Hurt is the Assitant Athletic Director and Head Football Coach but has also served as a CHS Asst. Principal. His fondest memory is having his daughter on the sidelines with him as the ball girl for the past six years. Mrs. LaRonna Hurt is a Reading Specialist at WRJH. She shared her fondest memory with her daughter during her CPS career, As Jarreka's first-grade teacher, I strived to treat her the same as the other students (she says I was a lot harder on her than the others). Before conducting individual assessments with each student, I made them feel comfortable with small talk. After Jarreka entered the testing room with me, I used my ‘teacher voice’, welcomed her, and asked her how she was doing. She looked around the room and said, "Mom, it's just us." Having her in my first-grade class was special! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It will be quite an adjustment when he graduates!" #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
