A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
As the holiday season is upon us we look forward to parties, fun days to dress up, and time with our families. I will use this time during break to reflect on our year so far and where we will be heading in the future. I am honored to be the Superintendent of Clinton-Massie Local Schools. I am thankful for the support of the board of education and the community. I am excited when I see students and staff striving to reach their full potential.

Proud to be a Falcon,

"Magnified Giving" Founder Visits CMHS
In 2008, Magnified Giving founder Roger Grein put forth an initiative to help students connect directly with their communities by giving to local non-profit organizations. As a local philanthropist himself, Mr. Grein understood the value of offering these charitable programs financial help in order for them to continue servicing the many needs of their communities. Since 2008, several schools throughout southwest Ohio, the tri-state, and beyond have taken on Mr. Grein's challenge to give from the heart. Each school explores local charitable organizations throughout the school year by volunteering and working directly with the organization; by the end of the school year, students will have chosen one organization that will receive a $1,000 grant designated to the school from Magnified Giving. At the end of this experience, students will have truly learned what it means to put others first.
