Clay County kicks off another Commissioner For A Day program for high school seniors

Clay County is giving local high school seniors a chance to step into the shoes of a county commissioner—literally. The County is kicking off another Commissioner for a Day program, and five students will be selected to spend Tuesday, September 22, shadowing District 1 Commissioner John Sgromolo for a full workday.

This opportunity gives students a real-world look at how local government runs—from public safety and emergency management to animal services, public works, and more. Participants will follow Commissioner Sgromolo through meetings with county leaders and site visits and learn how different departments and leaders work together to serve the community.

Who Can Apply?
