Brook Bulletin

Dear Clear Brook Nation:

At Clear Brook, we remain committed to empowering every Wolverine to contribute to Building a Winning Culture. This year, we are deepening our exploration of Winning Mindsets and Behaviors—those daily actions and attitudes that help us rise to every challenge, celebrate progress, and achieve excellence together.

We are proud to share our Five Excellence Indicators that guide our culture:

Growth & Resilience
Belonging & Voice
Future-Focused
Continuous Improvement
Collaboration & Empathy

This week, we are spotlighting Indicator #1 – Growth & Resilience. Resilience is about reflection, ownership and the willingness to learn through challenges. Growth happens when we view obstacles as opportunities. Already this school year, our Wolverines have shown tremendous courage, perseverance and adaptability. We are proud of the positive choices and behaviors our students are demonstrating—living proof that setbacks are springboards to future success.

We are honored to have been renamed a National School of Character in May. This recognition affirms our shared commitment to fostering ethical, social, and emotional growth alongside academic excellence. It is a direct reflection of the character and resilience our students show every day. We plan to celebrate this distinguishing recognition throughout this entire school year.

Special Notes:

Open House – Monday, August 25th
We warmly invite all families to join us next week for our Open House. This will be a valuable opportunity to connect with teachers, explore our programs and learn how we are building a Winning Culture together. (See flyer below for more details.)
Weekly Wolverine Calendar
Please take time each week to review our Weekly Wolverine Calendar, which outlines two weeks of campus activities and events. Your presence makes a tremendous difference in encouraging our students and strengthening our programs.
PTA Membership Drive
We are just 100 memberships away from earning the Head Start Award by August 30th! Without your support, PTA’s impact is limited. Let’s rally together to help PTA serve our campus with excellence—please join today! (See flyer below for more details.)

Parents & Future-Focused Connections

We are excited to begin early this year with our Parents & Future-Focused Connections. Starting in September, parents will be invited to share their career pathways during Quest Connect time. This is a powerful way to expose our students to possibilities, successes and challenges while equipping them to be Future-Focused and ready for life beyond Clear Brook High School.

Together, let’s continue to Win the Day and Lead the Way!

With Wolverine Pride & Joy,

Monica W. Speaks
Proud Principal
