Clayton High School will show off its new additions at an event planned Sunday afternoon.
Staff and students’ long wait for the use of the newly added and renovated Proposition S construction project is finally over at Clayton High School. “The principal will tell you that it is the first time she has ever seen upperclassmen this excited to come back to school," said Chris Tennill, chief communications officer for the School District of Clayton. This project, in the making for more than two years, will wrap up in October with the completion of CHS theater renovations.
