Clay High School (Portsmouth, Ohio) - Campus

Campus

Clay Junior-Senior High School is located in the rolling hills of Southern Ohio (Appalachian Ohio) just north of the Ohio River near Portsmouth. The building and grounds are located on Clay High Street just off U.S. Route 23 and Lochner Road in Rosemount, which is nestled in a rural, community area of apartments, small businesses, homes, and farmland. The campus consists of several acres in which the high school building and several athletic fields (baseball and soccer) are located.

The Clay Jr.-Sr. High School building is shaped somewhat as an "E" (facing east) from an aerial view. In the middle of the vertical arm is the main entrance, which faces west toward U.S. Route 23. The industrial arts and drafting rooms are located in the top wing while the lower arm (or "old junior high" wing) houses additional academic classrooms. The middle wing consists of the cafeteria, band room, gymnasium, health facility, and the "new junior high" wing.

There are twenty-seven academic classrooms in the Clay High School building including three computer labs, an industrial arts shop and drafting room, a chemistry/physics lab, a biology lab, and a home economics lab. The district's superintendent and treasurer also have offices in the building. The CHS softball field is located on the grounds of Rubyville Elementary. The school does not have home tennis courts nor a cross country course.
