The name of our school is Clear Creek. It is also the name of the community
around our school. The first Clear Creek school was a log building located on the
farm of David May on That Road. The school was later moved to a frame structure located
on the southwest corner of South Rogers Street and Gordon Pike next to Bachelor Middle
School. In the fall of 1929 a four room red brick schoolhouse was built at the present site
on Clear Creek Drive. This building originally served children in grades 1 through 8. The
last 7th and 8th graders attended Clear Creek in 1952. In 1959 a
limestone addition was added to the school. The addition included six new classrooms, restrooms
and a gymnasium. The year 1990 marked a historic moment for Clear Creek Elementary School
as the old building was demolished and children and staff moved into the current building.
Through the years, Clear Creek Elementary School has been the center for community
activities. The school has earned a reputation of providing a good solid education
to its students and producing many fine adults.
