“For the first time in almost fifty years we have an active Alumni Association,” said Jan Boyington, Clearfield High School’s Community Relations Director. “The Association is connecting alumni with current CHS students in career-path planning, with our newly opened Alumni Hall of Fame and Career Kiosk. We also give scholarships and currently have a fundraiser where members of the community can purchase a personalized paver, which will be part of a beautiful walkway from the school up to the newly remodeled and turfed football field.”

The grand opening of the completed Alumni Hall of Fame located in the foyer next to the school’s auditorium, included a business and community dinner and was held at the end of April, 2012. The construction on the new turf and football field begins April 30 and should be completed by the first home football game.

As part of the 2009 school bond, the Davis School District Board approved $1.2 million, to replace Clearfield High School’s current turf and remodel the track. By installing the

 turf it turns the area into a multipurpose stadium that can be used for rugby, soccer, lacrosse and other sports, not just football.

According to Chris Williams, Davis School District’s Communication and Partnerships Director, the installation of a turf field represents a cost savings in water use as, during the appropriate season, a turf field can be watered every other day, unlike natural grass that is watered daily.

“A turf field is also more reliable as it won’t succumb to the seasonal summer heat, and sometimes wet fall seasons” said Williams. “It will be a benefit to the smaller Clearfield High campus because the space can be used almost year round, of course, depending on winter snows and frigid temperatures.”

During construction, the outdoor track facilities will be closed to students and the community. “This new facility will not only be utilized by the school, but is a positive investment in our community,” said Clearfield High School Principal Suzi Jensen.

In addition to the new field, Clearfield High has a new Head Football Coach, William Hawes.

“We are excited to have Coach Hawes as a part of our coaching staff,” said Mrs. Jensen. “He has produced three All Area First Team players this past season at his former school, as well as taken them to the State Championships. He is anxious to instill a bond between our school, our families, and our community.”

In recent years Clearfield High has had the main auditorium renovated, added a new media center and tennis courts, re-vamped the main entrance, remodeled the weight room adding a windowed wall with a steel Falcon, the school’s mascot, added new labs in every science classroom, as well as seven computer labs, and new lockers in two of the buildings. Over the past two summers a new parking lot was constructed for students and teachers.
