🎆 COMMUNITY NOTICE: FIREWORKS AT FRIDAY NIGHT’S FOOTBALL GAME 🦅🏈
As part of Friday night’s 100-Year Celebration and Hall of Fame Game at Clay Memorial Stadium, fans and nearby community members should be aware that professional fireworks will be used throughout the evening as part of a special game-day experience.
💥 Fireworks are planned for:
• During portions of and at the conclusion of the National Anthem 🇺🇸
• Each time the Eagles score a touchdown and following the extra point
• Following the Clay Marching Band’s halftime performance
• During an approximately 8-minute postgame fireworks show
All required permits for the fireworks display have been pulled and obtained. The display has also been coordinated with the Oregon Police Division (OPD) and Oregon Fire and Rescue to help ensure the event is conducted safely and responsibly.
Because of the noise associated with the fireworks, we want to provide advance notice to our neighbors, families with young children, veterans, individuals who may be sensitive to loud noises, and pet owners so everyone has an opportunity to prepare accordingly.
A huge THANK YOU to our Department of Athletics partners, Danny’s Café and Maumee Bay Turf Center, for making this experience possible!
One of our continued goals within Clay Athletics is to create first-class experiences for our student-athletes, families, fans, and community — experiences that make Friday nights at Clay special and create memories that extend well beyond the final score. We are incredibly fortunate to have community partners who believe in that vision and continue to invest in our students, our programs, and our community.
Friday night will be more than a football game. It will be a celebration of 100 years of Clay High School, our Hall of Fame Class of 2026, and generations of Eagles who have proudly represented our school and community.
We appreciate the support and understanding of our surrounding community and look forward to an unforgettable night at Clay Memorial Stadium!
🦅 100 Years of Clay. Celebrating Our Past. Creating Memories for the Next Generation.

We’re officially in our second week of school and while there’s been plenty of excitement, new routines and learning happening across our district we want to give A BIG shoutout to our Transportation Department! 🚌⭐️
We want to take a moment to recognize the incredible people who help make each school day possible. Our transportation team goes the extra mile to get our students where they need to be safely, reliably and with care. They play such an important role in our school community and we are so grateful for all that they do!

🏈 Friday Night Lights are even more special when our youngest EAGLES get to be part of the action! 💚💛
The Oregon Youth Cheer📣and Football 🏈programs brought plenty of energy, excitement and school spirit to the field as our future Eagles joined the high school football team for opening night at Clay Memorial Stadium. From taking the field to cheering on the team, these young athletes got a special taste of what it means to be part of the Eagle family.
What a great way to celebrate the next generation of Eagles! 🦅✨
Can you find your FUTURE EAGLE?

District staff launched the new school year on Wednesday with an incredible keynote speaker, Mister Brown from The Choose Well Program at the Clay High School auditorium.
After an energizing opening day presentation to all staff, Mister Brown visited each of our 7 buildings to share the inspiring message about making connections and building deep relationships. His message directly ties into our district focus "Together We Are One".
"When you make better choices, you live a better life. So Choose Well. Oh Yeah!" 🎯 - Mister Brown
A powerful reminder that our relationships with each other, our students, and our parents are the heart of everything we do. 💚💛💚
We are incredibly excited to get this school year underway, and our staff cannot wait to see our buildings come alive when the students arrive over the next few days. Bring on the new school year! 🍎🏫✏️🖍️📚
OCS would like to thank PBF Energy Toledo Refining Company for their Education Grant through the Oregon Schools Foundation to help make Mister Brown's visit possible. We appreciate your dedication to education immensely.

This summer four Clay seniors completed the American Legion’s Buckeye Boys and Girls State programs!
The one week endeavor is a hands-on, simulated local and state government camp. Girls from across Ohio gathered at Bowling Green State University while boys attended Miami University. A social time and reports ceremony was held for our students at the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post on August 20th.
We would like to commend these students and thank the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post for supporting our students.
