Clay Students Participate in ‘Ghost Out’ Program

12 Students Visited by Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper paid a visit to the Clay County High School Friday, as the Kentucky Department of Highway Safety sponsored their Ghost Out Program.
The Ghost Out Program is intended to raise awareness among students about the dangers of drinking and driving, and in recent years, driving and texting.
Clay Principal Mike Gregory picked out twelve students from the Junior and Senior classes, who were to be made “ghosts” by Senior Jacob Hyde, who was picked to be the Grim Reaper.
The Grim Reaper removed the twelve students from class and for the rest of the day they were not to attend classes, talk to other students, text, or use Facebook/Twitter.
According to KSP Trooper Josh Wilson, the students who were ghosts had to write their obituaries, and a funeral service was held for them at the end of the day at a special program in the gym, where all Junior and Senior students gathered.
Wilson said Rominger Funeral Home brought in a casket for students to see, and Coroner Danny Finley was there to conduct the funeral services.
School Resource Officer Gary Harris read obituaries of the students and Reverend Anthony Lovett talked to the students there about the dangers of drinking and driving.
The Kentucky State Police, Clay County Sheriff’s Department, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, and Manchester City Police participated in the program in hopes of impressing upon the students the permanent consequences that can arise from drinking and driving or texting and driving.
