Clayton County Takes a Big Step Forward with New High School Plans

In an exciting move for education in Clayton County, the school board has just approved a whopping $246 million plan to rebuild North Clayton High School. This new facility promises to be more than just a typical high school; it will feature cutting-edge amenities that cater to students’ diverse interests and aspirations.

Out with the Old, In with the New

The existing North Clayton High School, which has been serving students since 1968, is set to be demolished. This decision comes as no surprise, as the current building has been facing some serious issues such as HVAC failures and leaky roofs. It’s time for an upgrade, and Clayton County is making it happen!

A Multi-Million Dollar Dream

The school board’s ambitious plan involves constructing a four-story, X-shaped building on a sprawling 107 acres at the intersection of West Fayetteville Road and East Pleasant Hill Road. Out of the total budget, more than $228 million is specifically allocated for construction. The good news for taxpayers is that the funding will come from SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) dollars, so there will be no increase in property taxes.
