TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week’s featured teacher is Mr. Clark Chickering. Clark has been working in education since he was in college. He was a TA for Chemistry Labs as an undergrad and then served as a TA in Chemistry Labs again for one year in graduate school. He has been teaching an Adult Sunday School Class for around thirty years. And, after a successful 30 year career as a Chemist and Supervisor, he joined the staff at Harrisburg R-VIII School District in 2021 as a bus driver. He has since added full-time substitute teacher and maintenance to the many hats he wears in our district.
As a substitute teacher, Mr. Chickering guest teaches in all three buildings. It takes a very flexible professional to be able to teach preschool one day and high school the next but Clark manages it with grace and skill. When he is not teaching, you’ll find him continuing service to the district as a bus driver for morning and afternoon routes or assisting with maintenance needs throughout our facilities.
Clark has been married to his wife, Donna, for 37 years. They have two daughters who are graduates of Harrisburg Schools and they have four wonderful grandchildren. He has served as Pastor of Red Rock Church for the past eight years.
We are very fortunate to have someone with Clark’s expertise on staff at Harrisburg School District. Thank you for the many ways you support our students, staff, and patrons every day. #BulldawgPride

Last week, Mrs. Hackethal's Sophomore Biology was learning about the cell's parts and its functions. Using candy, cookies and cakes for the cell is a great way to relate the type of candy they used to the part and function.










Our elementary student council representatives went on a field trip to the Food Bank and Shakespeare’s 🍕 today. We toured the facility, walked in a massive refrigerator, learned about how the food bank helps our community, and volunteered to package over 800 lbs of food for more than 1.5 hours! We had many compliments on our students’ behavior and hard work! We are proud of our students for making a difference and realizing how you can help others at a young age. #BulldawgPride
