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.

My favorite part of Clay County High School can be best described as community. CCHS is a very friendly school where everyone is friends with everyone. Having someone to go to at all times is a nice environment to associate one's self with.

No amount of safety precautions will because my issue i...
