History

Clifton schoolhouse

Since 1885 there have been many "Clifton Schools" that were located where the building still stands. The first building was a one-room schoolhouse where about 35 students attended until 1912 when the construction of Clifton High School was completed.

Clifton Elementary School

The new Clifton Elementary School was built in 1952. It had four class rooms, a library and an auditorium. In 1954 two more class rooms were added. The upper playground was built in 1955.

A significant addition in 1984 doubled the size of the school, adding several classrooms and a gymnasium.
