Clint feels like he has the best job in the whole world working at Independence High School. He is passionate about helping students see and reach their potential. Clint feels that good relationships and strengthening families are key to helping students succeed.

We are so very lucky to have Jacob and Clint at our school and excited for them to take on their new roles!
