Dr. Swift comes to the Clinton district from the Canton area.

Dr. Swift has been approached about major changes she has already made, which she says, is not the case. However, she does have a few new things in the works for students to take advantage of. One of those is related to developing school pride amongst the students. She explains, starting this Friday night at the opening football game, students can reserve themselves a seat in the North end of the football, along with a few other perks.

There is a new policy through the IHSA this year which requires students to pass more classes to be eligible for sports than in previous years. Dr. Swift is fully behind this and she says, it is great to be behind the sports and various activities within the schools, but the primary focus must be on academics.
