The Tribune record of 1930 and 1976 behind the reference record; the federal enrollment data (NCES) — the opening-year pair prints whole as conflict C18
Clay High School was Roseland's high school for two generations, and its record opens with a conflict this build prints whole (C18): the school was established in 1930 on the contemporaneous evidence — the Tribune of 22 April 1930 headed its dedication "County School is Dedicated" (the county-school pole of the transfer question above) — while a 1939 founding runs through the aggregators and a student-paper account, apparently descending from an older reference revision; the 1930 date carries the newspaper citations and governs the narrative, the 1939 form footnoted beside it. Its first campus was the Lily Road ground; the newer building at 19131 Darden Road was dedicated in 1976 (Tribune, 12 November 1976), in Clay Township under a South Bend postal address — the building whose fate the rest of this section follows. The Colonials' arc in numbers: 1,275 students in 2013–14; 628 in 2022–23; 477 in the final year, 2023–24 — a school at a third of its size in a decade. Under Plan Z it was the corporation's Fine Arts (visual and performing arts) magnet. Its banners: the 1970 baseball and 1994 boys basketball state titles. And its human tie to the present corporation stands in the superintendents article: the man who now holds the district was once Clay's principal.
