Clays Mill Elementary was built in 1954, renovated in 1983 and repainted in 2006. The school is on a 15-acre site adjacent to Southland Park. It provides a child-centered learning environment for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Clays Mill has had only three principals in 40 years. It has a very strong and involved PTA, and our parents volunteer countless hours for the school. We hold a Spirit Day each Friday and special activities each month to celebrate the great honors of each student.
What makes our school special
The mission of Clays Mill Elementary is to educate all students at high levels through equitable and effective teaching. Learning needs of all students are met by offering a variety of teaching techniques, strategies and materials. Students are actively involved in their learning through hands-on activities, flexible grouping, cooperative learning opportunities and experiences that promote intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth across the curriculum and grade levels. Students are challenged to excel at high levels and strive to expand their learning. Field trips to Pine Mountain and in-school programs such as Around the World, Entrepreneur Fair, History and Science Fairs give students a chance to apply content knowledge and skills. The media center, art, music and wellness classes enhance the curriculum taught in the regular classroom and focus on specialized content.
