Clinton High School:
Clinton high school entrance. Most modern high schools (in the last 50 years) are one to two stories high. Schools built of wood 100 or more years ago were sometimes 3-4 stories high. Public schools do not have dormitories. The students are from the local town or village. If a village is too small to afford a school the student will pay to go a nearby town to school. The town sending a student must pay for the schooling. The money from that comes from taxes paid by the people from the students village. The schools are usually well equipped in all departments. There is drinking water at bubblers (drinking fountains) throughout the school. The building on the right is an indoor gym and has hot and cold water showers. Each student usually has a school provided locker for the storage of cloths and books.
Schools are generally of this layout. The inside has air conditioners. Americans call that central heat for the heating system and central air conditioning for the cold air part. There is usually one large heater, one cooler or a combination heater cooler. The output of these systems is piped throughout the building. No one wears coats during the day in the winter.
Four tennis courts next to the school. The courts are freely available for people in the community to use. There are parking places for teacher and student cars.
Ball field next to the school. There are a few football and baseball fields next to the tennis courts. Below are more fields across the street from the school.
An area next to the school for physical workouts for the gym classes. Students will climb ropes or go over obstacles like the boards attached to the trees.
