Clay County
Schools
 The Clay County
Schools create a
unique experience in
Hayesville NC that
will benefit
students afraid of
getting lost in a
crowd. The Clay
County School System
is comprised of
three schools –
Hayesville
Elementary,
including grades
pre-kindergarten
through fourth,
Hayesville Middle
School, fifth
through eighth
grades, and
Hayesville High
School, ninth
through twelfth
grades. All three
schools are on one
campus, making for
an easy transition
from one school to
another. Also, the
junior high system
(pairing of grades
5-8, rather than
6-8) has been proven
to be more
emotionally
effective for
adolescent aged
students during this
transitional time.
Hayesville
Elementary School
serves about 500
students, and the
teachers and
administrators have
a unified philosophy
that, “a good school
is like a good
family, the
foundation is
absolute trust among
all its members
followed by open
communication,
respect, and a
unified commitment
toward the common
good of others
through teamwork.
The result is the
development of good
character in young
people who
constantly
experience adult
role models with
compassion, courage,
self-discipline, and
unconditional love.
When good families
and good schools
work together,
students naturally
become successful,
confident, and
caring citizens of
tomorrow”
(information from
the Hayesville
Elementary School
website). This is
obviously a town and
a school truly
focused on building
community, and caring
for their students.
Hayesville Middle
School is the
perfect
 environment
for pre-teens to
develop cognitively
and mentally. During
this transitional
time, Hayesville
Middle School
focuses on grouping
together different
ages, subjects, and
programs to give a
complete educational
picture to these
young people. With
all of this
interdisciplinary
education and
whole-child
approach, it is no
wonder that the
community rallies
behind this school.
Hayesville High
School, serving
about 400 students
each year, focuses
on innovation and
technology to
prepare students for
entering college and
the global
community. Its
numerous clubs and
organizations help
students to know
what community is
and how to become
productive members
of society. All
three schools in the
system consistently
meet North
 Carolina’s testing
standards and make
progress towards
yearly goals.
Graduation rates are
consistently higher
than state and
national averages.
Students in Clay
County Schools are
lucky to be able to
take advantage of
this one of a
kind school system
and the
opportunities it
provides.
