"Mike Hogue promotes a positive culture by raising the bar for excellent customer service through his honesty, upholding his promises, and strong work ethic," said Kevin Scott, Building Maintenance Manager. "Mike’s loyalty and leadership elevate workplace morale and promote teamwork."
Mike has been with CMCSS for 19 years, and today, we celebrate him as one of the TOP FIVE Classified Employees of the Year. He enjoys working with his Operations crew and supporting students as they explore careers in the trades. Mike actively participates in the district's annual Construction Competition.

Thank you, Mike, for supporting our students, faculty, and staff and your commitment to excellence.
We all have a reason why we're grateful for the service and sacrifice of our military servicemembers. The impact becomes much more significant when you hear from the children of those who choose to serve their country. Nearly 30 percent of CMCSS students are military-connected. Our district proudly supports our military families.

We loved seeing all of the community support as our students prepared for state testing! There are so many positive stories to share. 🥰
Big thanks to the Austin Peay State University students and coaches and Clarksville High School-TN, who inspired and encouraged our Sango Elementary School students. ❤️
As a reminder, tomorrow (Wednesday, April 17) is Purple Up Day! We proudly support our military-connected students and families. Join us in your favorite purple attire tomorrow as we show our commitment to our military children.
Nearly 30 percent of CMCSS students are military-connected. Schools across the district partner with Fort Campbell and military-support organizations in a variety of ways to educate, empower, and encourage respect in our students for our nation`s servicemembers.
CMCSS students across the district recently participated in the annual Gifted Expo. The event was held at Central Services South, where students chose a topic and presented it to peers, faculty, and families.
We are so impressed by the talent and creativity of our students!
Barksdale Elementary and Spanish Immersion Elementary families had a blast at STEM Night! Students were able to show off science, technology, engineering, and math skills to their families. Special thanks to the community partners who came out to support the event - including CDE Lightband and Clarksville High students!
Barksdale was awarded a Big Idea Grant from the CMC Education Foundation - which brought the Adventure Science Center into the school for hands-on demonstrations and activities.
CMCSS Music Programs Awarded Nearly $150,000 Towards New Instruments
CMCSS students will soon have another opportunity to expand their creative pursuits. Seven schools in the district were named as recipients of the Mr. Holland Opus Foundation grant. New instruments, with a total value of $147,250.96, will be purchased for the schools.
The Mr. Holland Opus Foundation is a national organization that seeks to serve schools, specifically in low-income communities, by replacing old instruments. The grant is filling a great need in the schools, as many students rely on using school-owned equipment. These instruments will allow more students to participate in band programs.
Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation selected seven CMCSS schools based on the priorities of access to instruments. Kenwood, New Providence, West Creek middle schools, and Northeast, Northwest, Montgomery Central, and West Creek high schools will all benefit from the grant.
“I think it’s important for all students to be a part of music,” said Blair Boothe, Band Director at Northeast High School. “It teaches us so much about life.”
On average, 4,000 schools nationwide apply for the grant each year, but about 100 schools receive it.
CMCSS participated in a study as part of the State of the Arts program developed in partnership with the Country Music Association and, through participation, had the opportunity to apply for the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation grant.
About the State of the Arts Program
The State of the Arts program was developed and launched in 2018 as a public-private partnership between the Country Music Association (CMA) Foundation and the Tennessee Department of Education. The program seeks to expand student access to high-quality music and arts education by leveraging Tennessee’s rich history in the arts. The State of the Arts program and our vision for arts education aim to bring quality, sequential visual and performing arts instruction delivered by a certified arts educator during the school day to every public school student in Tennessee.

They performed a concert and had a clinic session with Richard and Cheryl Floyd. (Legends and icons in the music education field!)
As one of only eight bands from the Southeast to perform at the festival, Vanessa Cobb, MCHS Band Director, said, "They represented our school, district, and state in the most professional manner, and my heart is full of joy!"
Congratulations, students!
