Today, on Veterans Day, Clay County District Schools pauses to honor the brave men and women who have served in all branches of the United States Armed Forces.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms. We are especially proud of the veterans within our own community - our teachers, staff, parents, and neighbors.

Thank you for your service.
