Friday night lights were back as the Orange Park Raiders took the field against Clay High School! A massive shoutout to Captain McAllister for the incredible pregame drone flyover. Our cheerleaders and the marching band brought absolute fire to the stands all night, keeping Raider Nation loud and proud! On the field, the Raiders came out hot, taking a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter with pure grit and explosive plays. While Clay managed to pull away as the night went on and took the win 63-18, our boys fought hard for all four quarters and showed the heart that defines Orange Park. Next week, we'll be back at home for our Homecoming Game against Terry Parker. #SwordsUp 🖤⚔️🧡

❤️🤍💙 9/11 Heroes’ Day | National Day of Remembrance 🕊️

Today, September 11th, Clay County District Schools pauses to honor the lives lost, the courageous first responders who rushed toward danger, and the countless heroes whose bravery shone on one of our nation’s darkest days.

On this National Day of Remembrance, our students and staff reflect on the selflessness, unity, and resilience that defined our country following September 11, 2001. Through meaningful classroom reflection and age-appropriate civics lessons, we ensure that the legacy of these heroes inspires the next generation.

Today, we invite our Clay County community to join us in taking a moment of quiet reflection to honor those we lost and thank the local heroes who keep us safe every day.

We will never forget. ❤️
