This past weekend marked the very first Calculating in Clay event! Junior High Math Teams from across the district descended on Oakleaf Junior High to sharpen their skills, tackle timed challenges, and dive into collaborative games. These "mathletes" are officially in training mode for the MATHCounts competition next month! 🏆💡
A massive shout-out to Ms. Walthour at Oakleaf Junior for coordinating and hosting such an incredible day, and to all of our dedicated Math Team Coaches for fueling our students' success.

A massive BRAVO to our incredible secondary chorus members who performed tonight at the 2026 All County Secondary Chorus! Tonight was a beautiful reminder of why music matters. Our secondary students joined voices for this special concert, and the result was stunning. Whether it was the delicate harmonies of the Treble Choruses or the energy of the Mixed Chorus, these performers proved that extraordinary things happen when we work together in harmony.
We are so proud of your dedication, your voices, and the way you represented our schools.
Special Thanks To:
Heather Bice, Choral Director at Ridgeview High School, for her tireless work in organizing and putting this entire event together.
Our amazing choral directors across the county. Your incredible work with our students was reflected in every note of tonight’s performances!
Our distinguished guest conductors for their expertise and for bringing out the best in our singers.
Christopher Gugel, our Fine Arts Specialist, for his leadership and continued support of the arts in our schools.
Bravo to everyone involved in making this amazing night happen! 👏✨

History didn’t stay in the textbooks today at Green Cove Springs Junior High—it was happening right in our cafeteria!
We were deeply honored to host a U.S. Naturalization Ceremony, where 25 individuals from 15 different countries took their final step to becoming American citizens. This incredible experience brought our Civics lessons to life in the most beautiful way. 🗽✨
A massive thank you to GCJ Civics teacher Mr. William Taft, who organized this entire event. Because of his vision and dedication, our students didn't just read about democracy today—they lived it.
Our students were at the heart of the ceremony:
🤝 Our GCJ National Junior Honor Society members had the distinct honor of introducing each applicant, making this life-changing moment personal and welcoming.
🎶 The GCJ Treble Choir provided a moving patriotic soundtrack to the day's events.
🛡️ The Clay High School NJROTC Color Guard opened the morning with a flawless presentation of colors.
The highlight was the Oath of Allegiance. Watching dozens of right hands go up and hearing those powerful words spoken for the first time by our neighbors was truly heartfelt. Seeing the pure excitement on their faces—and the pride in the eyes of their families watching from the audience—was a reminder of what it truly means to be an American. 🗽❤️
But the celebration didn't stop there! We were joined by Supervisor of Elections Chris Chambless and his team. In an incredible "full circle" moment, our newest citizens were able to register to vote on the spot! 🗳️
The cafeteria was filled with cheers, hugs, and plenty of family photos as everyone celebrated this momentous milestone together. We are so proud of Mr. Taft, our GCJ Cougars, and the Clay High Blue Devils for helping welcome our newest fellow citizens home. 🏠
