Superintendent's Message

Billy Shellenbarger
Superintendent of Clawson Public Schools

As we all know, the Clawson community is a special place for so many reasons.  That is why, as I enter my 8th year as an educator at Clawson Public Schools, I am so excited - because Clawson Public Schools is a special place too!  

Our students and staff help to create a culture that we are very passionate about and certainly very proud of.  As Superintendent, that aspect of our public school district is extremely important to me and I will continue to do all that I can to model what it takes to continue to build upon our already strong culture.  

As we continue to fully integrate into our Central Campus, we are so very excited and fortunate to have extensive upgrades to all of our buildings, specifically in the form of safety and security.  As a result of those upgrades, our students and staff have never been safer inside our buildings and that work will continue into the final phase of our bond that will be finished in 2026.  We are so grateful for the new and improved Clawson Public Schools and what comes with that and there has never been a better time to be a part of CPS! 

As a parent, knowing that teachers, support staff and administrators will support and help to grow our children is imperative.  I know, without a doubt, that we do that at a high level at Clawson Public Schools and I cannot thank you enough for trusting us with the most important people in your lives - your children.

Have a fantastic 2025-2026 school year!
