Clinton-Massie Athletics is proud to announce the receipt of a $10,000 grant from the Clinton County Foundation, supporting significant upgrades to the Clinton-Massie High School weight room. This investment will enhance training opportunities for student-athletes across all sports and grade levels. What makes this grant especially meaningful is the leadership behind it. The grant was written by Clinton-Massie Athletic Department student aide Will McCarty, under the supervision of Athletic Director Brian Carey. Will’s initiative and dedication to improving athletic facilities exemplify the leadership and real-world experience Clinton-Massie strives to provide its students. “This is a huge step forward for our programs,” said Carey. “We are incredibly proud of Will’s work on this grant and grateful to the Clinton County Foundation for believing in our vision and investing in our student-athletes.” Major Equipment and Facility Upgrades The grant will fund a wide range of new equipment and improvements designed to elevate performance training, safety, and overall functionality of the weight room.
