Welcome & Hello: The Clarksdale Municipal School District (CMSD) welcomes you to our web site. Here you will find a snapshot of our district. I am Superintendent of Education Dennis Dupree, Sr. The 2011-2012 school year marks the beginning of my 5th year in the district. We are continuing to address the components of our New Era of Schools plan that we initiated in the 2008-2009 school year. Our goal for this web site is to provide you with good information about the district, our students, our staff, and our programs. We invite you to come grow with us as we work to enhance the lives and learning of our students. We are brimming with excitement about the future.

Get to Know CMSD: Our district is located in beautiful Clarksdale, Mississippi in the storied Mississippi Delta. Our town offers small town charm close to big city conveniences. Our town is known for its rich music history and its friendly and colorful people. The Clarksdale Municipal School District serves approximately 3,500 students in grades K-12. Eleven schools are located in our district: one high school, two middle schools, six elementary schools, one vocational center, and one alternative education center. Like the Mississippi Delta, our district has a proud history and is brimming with tradition. I am excited to be able to lead a team of over 500 caring professionals who carry out the responsibility of educating our most precious resource…the children of our district. Our district is blessed to have a dedicated board of trustees, growing community support and increasing parental involvement, and many nurturing professionals. It is my pledge as this district’s leader to work hard every day to improve the educational outcomes of our children.
