East Clinton Local Schools cover the eastern portion of Clinton County. It serves the students in the townships of Richland, Wayne, Wilson, and Green, as well as the villages of Sabina, Reesville, Lees Creek and New Vienna. The first graduating class was in 1966. Today there are about 1,600 students district wide, averaging approximately 450 at East Clinton High School.
