Dear Friends of Education:
The Society for Academic Excellence invites students who have achieved a 3.5 or higher grade point average during this school year to be recognized. Last year, 295 students were honored, including 73 graduating seniors who maintained a 3.5 GPA each year throughout high school. In addition, four seniors from Clinton High School and one senior from Clinton Christian Academy received $500 scholarships. We invite you to join other individuals and businesses in the Clinton area to help honor the scholastic achievements of Clinton High School and Clinton Christian Academy students.
This year marks the 36th anniversary of the Academic Excellence Program, all because of our supportive community which has taken an interest in education for the youth within our school districts. Our program this year will be focused on providing a quality experience for our students and an opportunity for the graduating seniors to be recognized with scholarships to encourage furthering their education.
The consistent support of the program from sponsors like you have allowed the Society to provide this recognition for our top performing students and their families. Your contribution of $50.00 as a Silver Sponsor or $100.00 as a Gold Sponsor will benefit the students as they receive their official Academic Excellence medals and ribbons. For your support, you will receive the following:
1. Recognition in the CHS Academic Excellence Ceremony’s program with that ceremony being held on April 17th. CCA includes A.E. as part of their year-end ceremonies, and you will be recognized there as well.
2. Listing as a Silver or Gold sponsor in Chamber of Commerce Facebook posts before and after the CHS and CCA ceremonies.
3. Either a walnut plaque as a first-year sponsor or a 2024 date plate as a returning sponsor.
4. Satisfaction from supporting our youth in Academic Excellence as a partner in education.
Also, many continuing sponsors may need a new plaque for additional year bars. Let the office know when you send your sponsorship. Please make your checks payable to Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce with a memo for Society for Academic Excellence. Checks can be mailed or delivered to the Depot, 200 South Main, Clinton, MO 64735. Your Chamber will also pick up checks if needed. Please respond by April 3rd.
Thank you for your consideration and support of our youth and education.

Did you know that Clinton had a nine-hole disc golf course at one time? Well, it still does, but as of spring of 2022, nine more baskets were added and Clinton is home to an 18-hole disc golf course in the Artesian Park! If you know of a group, club, organization, etc. that would like to hold a fund-raising tournament on this course, just call the Clinton Chamber and Tourism and we can help get you started. 660-885-8166.
