Over the last few years the Clay High School Campus has undergone remodeling. An addition was made to the main building, while the old elementary and the Annex were demolished. The Main building also was gutted and redone.
The school colors are green and gold. Their nickname is the Eagles. Clay was a member of the Great Lakes League until 2003 when they joined the Toledo City League. Clay's joining of the TCL made them the second non-Toledo team to join the league (Cardinal Stritch 1971-1994) though they have played the Toledo City League schools for years prior to joining. In 2011, Clay joined the newly formed Three Rivers Athletic Conference as a charter member.
The Clay High School Fighting Eagle Marching band has a long and rich history. The first band director at the school was Nancy Bricker, the first female band director in the state of Ohio. One of her former students succeeded her, Charles Neal, and in his long tenure at Clay brought about the band's high reputation in the community and surrounding area. In the late 1990s, the Clay band saw current director Brian Gyuras take over. The alumni band, which meets every other year, is one of the largest in the state of Ohio. The band's signature tunes are Basin Street Blues and Georgia On My Mind.
