Setting Sail for Excellence has become the new motto for Clearview Local Schools. This motto is being integrated into every part of the district academically, athletically, behaviorally, etc. It affects all of the Clearview Local Schools from the Superintendent, to the principals, the teaching staff, the cleaners, bus drivers, cooks, aides, the students and parents, and even the community. By adhering to this motto in all facets of the district, we will be different in 2014 by reaching the rating of excellence by the State of Ohio.
