We want to take a moment to honor Mr. Triplett’s recent recognition as a top administrator! Last month he was the recipient of two very notable awards:

1. Superintendent/Principal of the Year in Nevada Country for his work within Clear Creek School District and the,
2. Region Two Administrator of the Year award, encompassing the 11 different schools he has served at.

These awards were given to Duane Triplett in honor of his exemplary leadership and dedication to the districts he has faithfully served over the tenure of his outstanding career.

Thank you Mr. Triplett for your continued support of the students and families of Clear Creek School! Congratulations on these well deserved awards!

Principal’s News

May 2026
Cougar Families,
As we head into May, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout this school year. It’s hard to believe we are in the final stretch, only five weeks to go! The week of May 11th marks an important time for our students as they begin their state testing. These assessments help us measure the growth and progress our students have made and provide valuable information to guide instruction in the future.
While testing is just one part of the bigger picture, it’s an opportunity for students to show what they’ve learned and how far they’ve come. We encourage every student to do their very best, stay focused, and approach each day with confidence and a positive mindset. Families, you can help set your child up for success by ensuring they:

Get a good night’s sleep
Eat a healthy breakfast
Arrive at school on time
Are encouraged to give their best effort
We are so proud of the hard work our students and teachers have put in all year. Let’s finish strong! Your child’s teacher is the best place to start if you have other questions about testing or available resources.

Athletics
Our Girls’ Volleyball team just finished up their season of league play. In the CountyTournament they finished 2nd in the small school division. Way to Go Cougars!Our Mountain Bike Team begins competing this week, check out the attached schedule in the May Cougar News and find time to cheer on our riders!

PTC

Without the support of our PTC events like the Spring Fling and Frozen Fridays would not be possible. If you are not currently active with our PTC I want to encourage you to come to the next meeting and get involved. Our next meeting is on May 20th at 3:00 PM and all are invited to attend.

Home – School Communication

Good communication between the school and home is very important to us and we are working to provide numerous ways for this good communication to take place. Please call or email the school office when your child is sick and cannot attend school.

Happy May,
Duane Triplett
Superintendent/Principal
