The latest school year was a good one says the principal of a Clinton school building.

Clinton Junior High School Principal Jim Peck says the latest school year was a good one and felt it was one of his favorites that he's had in Clinton. He points out this was a record year for student participation in extracurricular activities. 

Peck says there was a lot of success for different programs and individuals within the junior high school for those extracurricular activities.

According to Peck, they are trying to get the kids to think about not having any regrets that they wish they would have tried more things when they were in junior high school and also to think about that as they prepare for high school.

Peck believes students' academic success and their growth are starting to normalize as we get farther away from the pandemic and its impacts.
