The Clinton Arrow Podcast

In this episode, I talk to PTOs and teachers celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. I also talk with CJHS Principal Tamikia Billings and 50th Anniversary Committee member Barbie Ferguson.

Though we've heard from so many in leadership positions about the senior class of 2020, I talked with four CHS seniors about the end of their senior year and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. I also had the chance to speak with Staff Sergeant Shelbi Constancio who serves as a recruiter for the Mississippi Army National Guard. Recent NFL draftee Cam Akers spends a few minutes talking about his time at CHS and how his experiences with football has allowed him to develop as a person.

Two science teachers from Lovett Elementary School, Abby Smith and Jessica Cline, discuss how their teams have prepared to continue quality education for Clinton's sixth grade students.

We are six weeks into school closures, and seniors are having to sit in limbo over what the end of their senior year might look like. The CHS Class of 2020 had the chance to pick up their senior announcements this week. We get to hear from a mother about how she and her senior are handling this time. We also get to take a glimpse into CPSD's student nutrition workers handing out grab-and-go lunches. The Attache Show Choir gets a visit from the president and founder of the Show Choir Nationals competition, and Attache director David Fehr weighs in on this year's show, cancellations and how his group has been handling the shut down. The episode closes out with a talk from CHS counselor Dana Wright. Mrs. Wright talks to us about mental health and how we all have been affected by the traumatic experience.
