We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

i would have to say my best experience with cchs would have to be my moments in the vocational school in the welding program and passing my certifications and the worst I have experienced is the teachers pick favorite students a lot and the thing I would like to see changed is for them to add more clubs or fun actives.

The family and friends, I have made while attending Clay County Public Schools, I couldn't even count them. The amount of love and support I have been given while attending, I could not count. I honestly would not be where I am today without the Educators and Stuff of Clay County. They have picked me up when I was sad. Helped me with understanding how to read, write and do long division.

The small class sizes paired with the extremely involved teachers was definitely a recipe for success.
