CLAY When the class of 2001 graduated, the world was a different place. There wasn’t Facebook, Twitter, or even MySpace. Not everyone had a cell phone and Apple hadn’t even introduced the iPod yet. It wasn’t long after graduation that 9/11 happened, so many of the students that graduated that year probably remember a simpler time. Despite a global war on terrorism, the beginning of the 21st century brought about the most transformative advances in technology and social characteristics.
For graduates at Clay-Chalkville High School, a plan was hatched that would ensure their time at the school would be remembered. In order to preserve its history, the class decided to create a time capsule only to be opened 20 years later…in 2021.
