Clinton High School, Public high school in Clinton, Tennessee
Clinton High School is a secondary school in Clinton, Tennessee, offering facilities for science instruction, athletic activities, and modern classrooms. The campus sits in a small town in Anderson County and includes several buildings, among them a solar-powered classroom that integrates renewable energy technology into the school day.
The current school began in 1903 and traces its roots to Union Academy, a state-sponsored institution from 1806. In 1956, twelve African-American students entered the previously separated school for the first time, fundamentally changing the educational landscape in Tennessee.
The school takes its name from the town and now offers all students access to laboratories, sports facilities, and classrooms used by the community. What was once a place of separation has become a space where young people from across the region learn together and share their school years.
The school admits young people from grade nine through grade twelve and works with around 78 teachers who organize instruction and supervision. Anyone planning to visit the campus should keep in mind that most activities take place during school hours and the grounds are used by students and staff at that time.
Students and teachers together designed and built the Net-Zero Building, a classroom that generates its own electricity from solar panels. This room serves not only instruction but also shows how buildings can operate using renewable energy.
