Clay High School is a public high school located in South Bend, Indiana. It is the Fine Arts school in the South Bend Community School Corporation magnet program.

[edit] Fine arts

As Clay High School is the Fine Arts magnet school, it offers various fine arts classes unavailable elsewhere in the corporation, such as Dance and Theatre Tech. Magnet grants also allow the school to perform four theatrical performances each school year: one play, two musicals, and a series of one act plays.

Advanced courses in Clay High School's music department require auditions. For those not interested in auditioning, basic classes are offered such as Mixed Choir, Orchestra, and Band. More advanced classes, such as Swing Choir, Chamber Orchestra, and Jazz Band, require auditions (which usually occur at the beginning or end of the school year). The music department is known for its award-winning performances and recitals. The band, orchestra, and swing choir have all received Gold Division awards at ISSMA competitions.
