CHS lobby dedication will be on Tuesday

by Ben Pounds

The main lobby at Clinton High School has been completed, and a dedication of it will be held at 9 a.m. on Tuesday July 29.

It will include light breakfast and a plaque presentation.

“We hope you will join us for the 100-year dedication ceremony of Dragon history,” the Clinton High School Alumni association stated on social media.

“If it’s been a while since you’ve visited your alma mater, this is a great time to stop by.

“You will get to meet the new administration, [and] see the lobby [and] amazing collection of memorabilia, and visit with friends.”

School board approves $1M for Claxton school bonds

The Anderson County Board of Education voted to spend $1 million to begin paying off bonds for the construction of a new Claxton Elementary School.

“There’s a point where you have to start paying the bills,” said Board of Education Chairman Scott Gillenwaters at the Thursday, July 11, board meeting.

Anderson County Schools director Tim Parrott said the school system had at first held off on the bond issue, waiting for interest rates to go down, but was now making monthly payments despite the rates not lowering.

The Anderson County Commission authorized a total of $20 million in bonds last year.

Crews are working on a section of the school that will be for kindergarten through second grade.

They have started to lay the foundation for the first building’s slab, and Parrott told the County Commission on Monday, July 21, that by Nov. 2, crews will have poured all slabs.

“They’re really professional up there,” he told the commission.
