Thank you for this information. Our school is new to the wikipedia process, so we patterned our entry after Dematha High School's page. I am the author of much of what was written, and as the Marketing and Development director of Clinton Christian, do have express permission to display here all info that was derived from our parent teacher handbook. Should you require verification, please contact Travis Crutchfield, School Administrator, who agreed to me posting this article. tcrutchfied@clintonchristian.org or by phone. 301-599-9600 Thank you, Karla Scott ClintonChristianSchool (talk) 00:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
