Today was the official groundbreaking ceremony, and the entire community was on hand to witness this historic moment. The seats were filled with excited current students, school administration, alumni, JCPS Cabinet, members of the Johnston County Board of Education, Johnston County Commissioners, and local representatives.
The highly anticipated project marks a new beginning for Clayton High, which was established in 1901. The first graduating class held commencement in 1904 with just three graduates. In December of 1955, the first of the buildings now occupied by Clayton High was completed.
The rebuilding of Clayton High will provide Clayton families and the entire community with a facility that they can be proud of for many years to come. The building itself is expected to be completed by December 2027, with the entire campus slated for full completion in Fall 2028.
Stay tuned for more photos and a recap video!
Being an SRO has allowed her to give back to the community. For Moore, the most important aspect of her role is building trust and a good rapport with the students. As an SRO, her job is never the same from day-to-day, acting as a mentor, a counselor, and a nurse, and she loves it!
Thank you, Officer Moore! 🌟

Joshua McNeil, serving as an officer with the Benson Police Department for 9 years, has been an SRO at Benson Elementary for 3 years.
When the SRO position at Benson Elementary became available, McNeil decided to apply because he enjoyed working with children. At first, he was unsure of how it would work out, and now he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
He loves setting a positive example of law enforcement. One of the highlights each day for McNeil is handing out small tokens for students who have a birthday.
Thank you, Officer McNeil! 🌟
