Exciting times are ahead as the community has stepped forward to support the children of Clinton County with the passing of the Double Nickel, paving the way for a new high school in Clinton County. This new facility is essential for our students, and now our school district is set to advance with this much anticipated project. This development represents a significant step in our community’s dedication to enhancing the learning environment for our students and creating a better workplace for our staff. 

As we continue to move forward, we will actively seek feedback from staff, parents, and community stakeholders to ensure that the new high school meets the needs of all those it will serve while maintaining transparency throughout the process. Everyone can stay informed with the latest updates by visiting this page. Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the Central Office at 606-387-6480. 

I want to express my gratitude to the Clinton County Board of Education, our dedicated staff, and our community for their unwavering support during this journey. Together, we will create a safe school that empowers our students to reach their full potential, provides an excellent working environment for our educators, and offers our community a source of pride. Thank you for your continued support.

--Wayne Ackerman, Superintendent
