What's Happening at Davis
Centers serve displaced high school teens
Imagine being a teenager and having nowhere to launder your clothes, nowhere to access more than a weekly shower and no place to study, do homework or decompress.
It’s with these scenarios in mind that the Davis Education Foundation, in partnership with Davis School District and Clearfield City, began the process of building a teen center in the old gym at Clearfield High School.
“The mission of our school is to ensure high levels of learning for every student,” Clearfield High Principal Chris Keime said. “To do that effectively, our student’s basic personal needs must be met. This facility will help us do that.”
In the Davis School District, nearly 300 high school students are considered homeless. The conditions that come with homelessness create barriers that lead to school absences and the possibility of the student dropping out before graduation.
Foundation Director Jodi Lunt said she hopes drop-in centers at Clearfield, Woods Cross and Northridge high schools will remove those barriers and return a sense of dignity to the student. Meeting those basic needs can help a student complete their education and graduate equipped with lifelong skills.

Superintendency Message
Not there 'yet' but persistence, patience pay off
By Logan Toone, Assistant Superintendent
There is a three-letter word around which I would like to center my message. The word is simple and powerful. It is the word “yet.”
For a student struggling to understand a difficult concept in class, the word can transform “I don’t get it.” into “I don’t get it … YET.” For a teacher overwhelmed by the challenges of delivering instruction during a pandemic, the word can turn “Remote learning isn’t working for me.” into “Remote learning isn’t working for me … YET.”
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
