Students from Clay City Schools recently attended a Youth Advisory Council Event with Mrs. Megan Billingsley. Students listened to 4 different speakers, got a photo, had pizza, and participated in a team competition. Each table had an hour to form a legislative bill that could be taken to Springfield in the spring. Ellie’s table won with an after school tutoring program bill based on Clay City's own tutoring program! The day was full of interesting new facts about legislature and the heart of some of our leaders 😊
C lost 22-8
JV lost 40-15
V lost 48-42

Clay City Senior and dual credit OCC student Weston Miller is flush with certs, after completing every plate certification we have to offer ( 1-4G backing bar, 6010 open root, and tig open root.) While most dual credit students leave with some qualifications Weston is the first to leave with them all. He has put in significant extra time outside of class to make this happen! Keep up the good work Weston!
