us September 11 Remembrance us

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed on September 11, 2001.

As a school community, we reflect on the importance of unity, resilience, and compassion. We are grateful to all first responders and service members who continue to protect and serve.

Let us never forget. 💙❤️🤍

As of right now, Clayton Public School District is planning on holding the graduation ceremony outside at Haupt Field tonight at 5 p.m. The gates will open 30 minutes prior to the start of graduation. In the event that inclement weather delays a 5 p.m. start time, we will attempt to start graduation at 6 p.m. outdoors.
