Superintendent's Message

Superintendent of Clawson Public Schools

Happy Summer CPS Families!

Another incredible school year in the books, and what a privilege it is to watch our students learn, grow, and truly thrive in our awesome District. From our youngest learners at ECC graduating onto Elementary School to our seniors crossing the graduation stage, this year has been packed with unforgettable milestones.

The Early Childhood Center PTO truly outdid itself for this year's Disney-themed Preschool Prom! It was an enchanting evening, where our littlest ones and even teachers dressed up and danced the night away!

Over at the Clawson Elementary School Gym, families and staff gathered for a morning to honor the graduating 5th-grade class with awards and promotion certificates. The ceremony was followed by a clap-out before moving the party over to Normandy Oaks Park. A perfect way to end their elementary years and start summer!

Our 8th graders marked their big transition with a wonderful evening of awards and promotion. The excitement didn't stop there—the class celebrated their milestone with a high-energy party featuring rock climbing, great food, and plenty of memories.

And last but certainly not least, our CHS Commencement was held in the High School Gymnasium, where our graduating seniors crossed the stage one final time as Trojans. As they step forward into their next great adventure, we wish them the absolute best and remind them that, "once a Trojan, always a Trojan."

Congratulations to all of our students and families. Your dedication and spirit are what make Clawson Public Schools so wonderful!

Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer!

Mr. Shell - Proud CPS Superintendent
