YOUR FUTURE, YOUR CHOICE! 🚀
What an amazing day at the Clay County Career Fair! Today, our Seniors took over the Clay County Fairgrounds with one goal in mind: Enlist, Enroll, or get Employed.
The building was buzzing with networking as students connected with representatives from nearly 100 businesses, colleges, and military recruiters. Superintendent David Broskie was on-site to witness the action, meeting with students and partners to celebrate the incredible opportunities waiting for our graduates. 🤝✨
This massive event wouldn't be possible without the vision and hard work of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) leaders. A huge thank you to CTE Supervisors Kelly Mosley and Alice Paulk for organizing the day, along with our dedicated College & Career Coaches and the entire CTE team for their tireless support of our students.
From shaking hands with local builders to chatting with university reps, the #ClassOf2026 showed up dressed for success and ready to work. The future of Clay County is looking bright! 🌟

🎺 A Night of Musical Excellence: All-County Honor Band 2026
What a breathtaking performance! This past Thursday night, the Thrasher-Horne Center was filled with the incredible sounds of our very own Clay County students during the All-County Honor Band Concert.
From the intricate woodwind melodies to the powerful resonance of the brass and percussion, our Junior and Senior High musicians demonstrated exactly why the performing arts are the heartbeat of our schools. These students didn't just play notes; they poured their hearts into every measure, showcasing the discipline, teamwork, and passion they’ve cultivated all year.
🌟 Celebrating Our Student Artists
The performing arts provide more than just music—they build confidence, foster community, and offer a creative outlet that lasts a lifetime. Seeing these talented individuals from across the district come together under the baton of world-class conductors was a reminder of the amazing things that happen when we support the arts.
A huge thank you to:
The Students: For your countless hours of practice and dedication.
The Band Directors: For your tireless mentorship and leadership.
The Parents & Families: For your unwavering support of your child’s musical journey.
We are so incredibly proud of our musicians. You represented Clay County District Schools with grace, professionalism, and pure talent!
