Please help us recognize our most recent Educator of the Game, Mrs. Summer Morgan. She was recommended by students who say she holds them accountable while caring for them through even the toughest moments.

Mrs. Morgan has dedicated 20 years to teaching and consistently goes above and beyond for her students, personally creating marching choreography and writing individual parts to ensure every musician is both challenged and supported. She earned her National Board Certification in 2024 and was named the 2019 CHS Teacher of the Year.

Thank you, Mrs. Morgan, for the heart, time, and passion you pour into Clinton students. 👏🎶
