Join Middleburg High School FCA and Wreaths Across America this December as we remember and honor our veterans. Help us honor our local heroes by sponsoring a wreath to be placed at Jacksonville National Cemetery.
This week, we proudly recognize SP5 Terry Eugene Lade, U.S. Army, a Vietnam War combat veteran who spent much of his life in Florida. A successful body shop owner and champion dirt-track racer, Terry had a lifelong love of cars and racing. A devoted husband of 51 years, loving father, and beloved “Papa,” he was known for his humor, strong work ethic, and unwavering love for his family.
Help us honor Terry and the countless heroes who served our nation.

On November 3, Clay County voters will consider the renewal of the existing One Mill ad valorem funding for four years (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2031).
Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:
School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.
Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.
All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.
