Clayton High was the first of four JCPS high schools to participate in the S.A.F.E. Mock Car Crash Program.
Ahead of prom, Spring Break, and the upcoming summer travel season, juniors and seniors watched the mock car crash on the school's football field. The educational visual program is a large collaborative effort between state and local organizations as a way to show young drivers how dangerous distracted driving can be to them and others.
Stay S.A.F.E during prom and Spring Break! 😎

The event, inspired by Mike Krzyzewski’s book, “Leading with the Heart,” recognizes those staff members throughout the school system that demonstrate leadership, compassion, and heart on a daily basis.
