History
Clinton High School succeeded many private institutions. In 1955, it was built on the grounds of the district's modern day middle school. In 1996, the two buildings were attached by several classrooms and a hallway, commonly known as 'the Bridge'. Also in 1996, the school's library was constructed. The 'Media Center' contains over 1,000 books and 30 computers. In 2003, another expansion was completed. The science wing added 8 new classrooms and facilities specially designed for Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics. Recently at the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year, the high school opened a new 50,000 square foot gymnasium complex. Several other athletic facilities were constructed along with it, as well as a large lobby used for the district's craft fair every year.
