About Us

Clear Creek is a one-school elementary district located in rural, western Nevada County, "Gold Country," near the communities of Grass Valley and Penn Valley. Clear Creek School, established in 1867, is the oldest, continuously operating school in the county. The school currently serves 105 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

This partnership with the community includes an active volunteer program in classrooms, the library, playgrounds, and special programs. Through advisory committees, School Site Council, Parent-Teacher Club, Art Docent Program, and other groups, all collaborate to shape curriculum and policies, and fund special projects to support our students' academic, athletic, civic, and social achievements.

Clear Creek School students participate in league sports, community service learning events, and student leadership activities. Student Council is just one of the youth groups enriching our students' experiences within the broader community.
