CLINTON -- The Clinton High School Life Skill Class of 2026 seniors were celebrated Thursday, February 12, with a special senior banner reveal ceremony at Arrow Baseball Field, recognizing their impact on the school community.

The banners, which will be displayed throughout the 2026 season along the third-base line of the grandstand, were made possible through the generosity of Clinton State Farm agent Tim Bruss, Alvin Coleman of Cole Photography, and the leadership of Arrow Head Baseball Coach Sam Temple.

Temple, who works closely with the Life Skills students as their Physical Education coach, shared what the group has meant to him personally.

"They're a blessing to me," Temple said. "I get to work with them in the mornings with the physical education, and they really meant a lot to me and touched my life. For the students here, they're just such a big part of our school … to recognize them for the things they've done, and the lives they've also touched here. They get a sports banner, just like everybody else."

Temple also expressed gratitude to the Life Skills teachers and staff members who support the Life Skills program daily as well as the community partners who continued to make the annual banner tradition possible.

"Thanks to their wonderful teachers and all the people that work with them, that spend every day with these young people — they're just amazing," Temple added. "Also, Tim Bruss and Mr. Alvin Coleman, both contributors to this every year, we just really appreciate their support."

The senior banners and celebration served as a powerful reminder of the character, joy, and inspiration that the Life Skill seniors have brought to the Arrow family.
