Congratulations to Clinton High School and to the community on the completion of the school remodel. In 1919, the Clinton community rallied to build a high school to stand the test of time. Through the Great Depression, World War Two, the fire of 1968, and tens of thousands of students, the school created leaders. In 2019 the Clinton community again rallied to remodel the high school to serve the next generation of leaders. The Clinton community has amazing educational institutions, and we are excited to see the next Duke Slaters who graduate from this state of the art school.
