(Laredo, Texas)-Recently, Clark Middle School (CMS), celebrated their 40th anniversary with a “Setting the Stage for Success” Hollywood theme celebration. UISD Board President Alissa Flores Oliveros, Board Member Javier Montemayor Jr., and Superintendent Roberto J. Santos were joined in celebration by District administrators, local dignitaries and former CMS Principals. In addition, Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz and Judge Tano Tijerina read a proclamation that denoted the history, mission and achievements of the campus.
The celebration also served as an homage to the late Norman Clark, who donated his farmland to UISD for the construction of the campus. Mr. Clark’s Granddaughter, Ms. Norma Clark Moore, and his Great-Grandson, Mr. Monty Moore were in attendance, and received a token of appreciation from CMS Principal Melissa C. Ramirez. Other highlights of the ceremony included a “CMS Yearbook” video produced by UISD’s ITV Department
“The celebration of what CMS has achieved as a public school since 1978 is underscored by the 7 Distinction Designations that we received from the Texas Education Agency in 2018,” said Ms. Ramirez. “I am honored and privileged to work a very exceptional team of administrators teachers, and employees”, she concluded. Thank you to the Alexander High School JROTC for the Presentation of Colors and Clark Middle’s Mariachi Del Norte and Honors Band for providing the soundtrack to a most memorable event.
