The Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame was established in conjunction with the celebration of the 100th Clayton High School graduating class in 2010. The Hall of Fame recognizes and honors the accomplishments of Clayton graduates who continue to bring pride and inspiration to the School District of Clayton. The Distinguished Educator Award was created to recognize Clayton educators who, during their time at the School District of Clayton, gained distinction through their passion and commitment to teaching and to the students in the District.
