A new class of 11th-graders took part in a longstanding Clayton High School tradition on Thursday, Sept. 12: Junior Challenge. This year’s event, held in Shaw Park, provided a day filled with small group team building activities led by specially trained CHS seniors. These activities challenged students physically, mentally and socially, and required them to work with their peers to accomplish the tasks at-hand.

Every year, Junior Challenge not only helps students gain leadership and team building skills, but it also provides them with an opportunity to get to know their classmates better - especially those with whom they may not have classes.
