An “A” rating for the fifth straight year and a ranking among the top 20 districts in Mississippi: these are achievements we celebrate together. To all of our students, staff, and stakeholders, thank you! Here is an explanation of why this year’s rating is particularly meaningful.

We cannot thank our principals and assistant principals enough for the countless ways they show up for our students, teachers, and families. They open doors early, stay late, and carry the weight of hard decisions with grace. Thank you for ALL that you do! 🍎#LCSDExcellence

Behind every successful school is a leader who cares. Today we celebrate the people who support our teachers, inspire our students, and strengthen our communies. Happy Boss’s Day! 🍎

We're proud to share that under the Mississippi Department of Higher Education's higher standards for earning grades, we have earned an “A” rating for the fifth year in a row. This milestone belongs to our dedicated staff, hardworking students, supportive parents, and caring communities. Thank you! #LCSDExcellence

We are committed to helping students succeed, and this goes even beyond even a textbook. That's why the D.A.R.E. program is so important. The attached video shares how this program is helping our 5th graders make smart, safe choices.

Stars, stripes, and Bulldog pride! Clarkdale's Homecoming Block Party was a slice of nostalgia that served up red, white, and blue fun for the whole family!

We are proud to see growth in our district in more ways than one. In fact, following the school board's tour of the campus, the group is exploring options to add more classrooms there. More details about the visit are available in the attached video. #LCSDExcellence #BuildforWhatsNext
