As of at least 2018, the school has made lunches and breakfast free to all students, irregardless of family income.[5]

The school does not offer boys volleyball or girls football.[6] The school is most known for their football team, the Bulldogs, who routinely get featured in local newspapers, often tracking their scores throughout the seasons.[7]
Controversies
[edit]In 2018, the former principal of Claiborne High School, T.J. Sewell, was investigated for misconduct due to claims by the schools maintenance faculty that he used them to tend to his farm. The staff claimed that during work hours he had them fix his truck, haul his cattle, run non-school related errands, and multiple other forms of care for his farm. He was also accused of abusing the schools tax exemption for personal shopping and for potentially pocketing profits from the schools coffee shop. The former principal was tried in a grand jury for misconduct but was not charged.[8]
In 2021, Timothy Munsey, a teacher at Claiborne High School was fired and charged with theft for repeatedly stealing school-owned computers to sell at local pawn shops.[9]
