🎓✨ Thursday, June 4, 2026 was a day of celebration, reflection, and recognition as we honored the accomplishments, growth, perseverance, and achievements of our 8th grade students! Our Final Walk was especially meaningful as these students took their last steps through the halls of Clarkton School of Discovery before beginning their high school journey. While this chapter is coming to a close, their future is filled with endless possibilities. This class has truly embodied our theme, Piece by Piece. Each student has been an important part of what made this year so special, helping create a strong, supportive, and successful school community. We have enjoyed watching them discover their potential and ignite excellence throughout the year. Congratulations, 8th Grade Class of 2026! Continue to dream big, work hard, and believe in yourselves because the sky is the limit! 💙🖤

🏅On the last day of school we celebrated our 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students during our End-of-Year Awards Ceremony at Clarkton School of Discovery! We recognized students for academic achievement, growth, leadership, and outstanding accomplishments throughout the school year. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, perseverance, and dedication. While awards are certainly worth celebrating, we also recognize the successes that can’t always be measured - overcoming challenges, showing kindness, growing in confidence, and never giving up. Congratulations to all of our award recipients and students for an amazing year! The future is bright at CSD! ⭐💙

Congratulations to our 2026 CSD STAR Award Winners! ⭐️ At Clarkton School of Discovery, the STAR Award is one of the highest honors a student can receive. Each year, one male and one female 8th-grade student are selected by our faculty and staff for exemplifying the character, leadership, integrity, service, and spirit that define CSD. The STAR Award recognizes students who lead by example, positively impact those around them, and consistently demonstrate the values that make our school community stronger. Like the North Star that has guided travelers throughout history, these students have followed their own guiding light, growing into outstanding young leaders during their time at CSD. ⭐ 2026 Male STAR Award Winner: Michael Borza Michael is a kind, respectful, and dependable young man who consistently represents CSD with pride. Known for his strong character, positive attitude, and ability to remain calm during challenges, Michael leads by example and always puts others before himself. His integrity, humility, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our school community. ⭐ 2026 Female STAR Award Winner: Chelsea Bordeaux Chelsea is a hardworking, selfless, and dependable young lady who continuously goes above and beyond to support her school and others. She leads through her actions, serves without seeking recognition, and demonstrates excellence in everything she does. Her commitment, positivity, and unwavering dedication embody the true spirit of the STAR Award. Please join us in congratulating Michael and Chelsea on this well-deserved recognition. We are incredibly proud of the young leaders they have become and look forward to all they will accomplish in the future!💙⭐
