Clinton High School is finally initiating a change that has been discussed internally for years. 

On the WHOW High School Road Tour Wednesday, Clinton High School Principal Jerry Wayne told the Hart Media Group that while they currently assess students based on a quarter-grade system, they will be transitioning to a semester grade system next year. 

Wayne indicates that the change will not make a big impact on students or families, but it will help them better align with the standards of other area schools and prepare students for the typical grading system of higher education. 

Preparing students for life after high school has been a focus for Wayne throughout his career in Clinton. He says that, while minor, this is a good addition to all the ways the high school supports its students. 

While Wayne is always looking for ways to support his students in the building, they are also supporting incoming students by hosting Freshman Orientation on February 3rd. We'll have more on that with Wayne in the weeks ahead from the Hart Media Group.
