Clay Center High School is a high school in Clay Center, Nebraska. The school is a public school that has about 201 students and many teachers
Formal education began in Clay Center with a subscription school taught by Mrs. Charles Wanser in 1880. On April 4, 1881, the first public school was authorized. The building was expanded with bond issues many times. The current high school building was built in 1967. In 2008, a school meeting was planned to determine where students may have to go to school. The general consensus is that students can opt-out to Harvard High in nearby Harvard,Nebraska or go to Sandy Creek High School a few miles south of Clay Center. Sandy Creek is located two miles outside of Fairfield,Nebraska and has been consolidated since the late 1960s. The Sandy Creek School District is set to acquire the former Clay Center High School District at the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. Complaints about changing the school mascot,colors,and high school name are still ongoing today.

“He is in the tailor mending my pantsuit.
He is in Boston, raised up by the skyscrapers.
He is in the bird, that shameless flyer.
He is in the potter who makes clay into a kiss.

Not so! Not so!”

“Whenever there’s a big war coming on, you should rope off a big field. And on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put ‘em in the center dressed in their underpants and let them fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.”
—Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
“We want our children to become warm, decent human beings who reach out generously to those in need. We hope they find values and ideals to give their lives purpose so they contribute to the world and make it a better place because they have lived in it. Intelligence, success, and high achievement are worthy goals, but they mean nothing if our children are not basically kind and loving people.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
