Clarendon College has had many faces during its lifetime – from the historic three-story building that now houses Clarendon High School to its modern campus of 107 acres on highway 287.
The College’s current location began with six buildings and has grown to 15 buildings with softball and baseball fields and a livestock and equine center.
There have been many people enter her doors. Numbered among them are distinguished public servants, chief executives of business and industry, lawyers, doctors, and military officers.
There are many success stories that came from Clarendon College. Thanks to the educations they received here, these individuals have become productive and prominent citizens. Clarendon College is proud of its ex-students.
The CC Ex-Student’s Association in cooperation with the College is in the process of gathering memorabilia for each decade from 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990.
The Association began a task during the 1998 College Centennial by collecting historical memorabilia from 1898 through the 1930s. Various memorabilia was collected, framed, and preserved under glass, and is now on display in the foyer of the College Instructional Center.
It is now time to bring this project forward into the college’s second century and the Association needs your help.
