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.

“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betray’d.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“Whether talking about addiction, taxation [on cigarettes] or education [about smoking], there is always at the center of the conversation an essential conundrum: How come we’re selling this deadly stuff anyway?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but mediately to the understanding or reason?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I go to school to youth to learn the future.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
