Clinton High School Principal Jerry Wayne is wrapping up the 2023-24 school year in Germany, the veteran educator recently put a wrap on the school year with Regional Radio.

Wayne says between the success of the athletic programs and the progress academically, it was another great year at Clinton High School.

Wayne says it was the extracurricular activities that ended up being very strong this year. From banner seasons for the various boy's sports programs to having an FFA student win a national competition, it was a great year at Clinton High School.

According to Wayne, they continue to deal with the impacts of COVID on students. He explains they continue to try to get kids caught up academically and students are dealing with the isolation of that time mentally and emotionally.

Students persevering and powering through difficult situations is something Wayne continues to see lacking in the students in his building.

Wayne credits his staff for being willing to help students work through the challenges they face. He says each kid is different and the challenges they face are unique to them.
