This page is about Clinton High School in the state of New York. For other Clinton high schools see Clinton High School .
, or '''CHS''', is a
Public High School in the village of
Clinton, Oneida County, New York ,
United States . All of the Clinton Central School District buildings are at the same location, and the middle school is attached to the high school, as are the district offices. The high school harbors four grades, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Though there are now generally 120-150 students per grade, enrollment has declined to the point where within several years, that figure will be around 100. For the past five years, the school has gone through many renovations and expansions. School classes begin the first Wednesday after Labor Day, and continue until June. The school year consists of 180 school days. The most recent school budget proposal, which requested $22.8 million for 2007-08, was rejected in May 2007 by 38 votes (677-639).
Clinton High School succeeded many private institutions. In 1955, it was built on the grounds of the district's modern day middle school. In 1996, the two buildings were attached by several classrooms and a hallway, commonly known as 'the Bridge'. Also in 1996, the school's library was constructed. The 'Media Center' contains over 1,000 books and 30 computers. In 2003, another expansion was completed. The science wing added 8 new classrooms and facilities specially designed for Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics. Recently at the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year, the high school opened a new 50,000 square foot gymnasium complex. Several other athletic facilities were constructed along with it, as well as a large lobby used for the district's annual craft fair.
Clinton High School regularly makes Newsweek's list of the top 1200 high schools, rising as high as 622 in 2005. Academically, it has a reputation as one of the strongest high schools in the region.
