Clippinger returns to French classes

Although she is not completely new to the school, French teacher Cara Clippinger returns to the staff ready to begin teaching once again part-time.
Clippinger, originally from Columbus, OH, came to Indiana when she attended Depauw University for French and education. Clippinger worked at the school for five years when it was still a freshman campus. After taking time off to stay home with her now three-year-old son, Clippinger returned to once again teach French.
Focusing on her goals as a returning French teacher, she would like her students to enjoy class and not see it as hard work.

Clippinger had only a part-time job at NorthView Middle School during her time off, but her return here is based on how she felt about teaching here before.

“I love being back. It is a really positive environment and its really great to see the teachers that I was friends with when I worked here before again,” Clippinger said.
