The district library recently received a $750 grant from the Amarillo Area Foundation, allowing for the purchase of 40 new books for the elementary library. Construction on 4th Street between Koogle and Allen streets has impacted parking arrangements, requiring high school staff to utilize the junior high parking lot while the east parking lot remains closed. Traffic patterns have been adjusted to ensure safety, with entry restricted to 5th Street. Additionally, the district has published UIL realignment information for the 2026-2027 school year, listing Clarendon alongside schools such as Memphis, Highland Park, Quanah, Shamrock, Panhandle, Wellington, and Wheeler for football and basketball competitions.
