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.

“When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“A novel is a mirror carried along a high road. At one moment it reflects to your vision the azure skies at another the mire of the puddles at your feet. And the man who carries this mirror in his pack will be accused by you of being immoral! His mirror shews [sic] the mire, and you blame the mirror! Rather blame that high road upon which the puddle lies, still more the inspector of roads who allows the water to gather and the puddle to form.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
