FOREWORD This Student/Parent Handbook & Course Catalog is produced as a guide to the various aspects of student life and academic program at Clark High School. Programs, procedures, and services are briefly explained so that students and parents will be informed participants in the educational life of our school. It is our hope that contents of this handbook and course catalog will be discussed at home between parents and students, and that the information provided will be beneficial in decision-making. This document will be updated as needed to reflect changes deemed necessary by the State of Nevada, CCSD, and school administration.

This publication will provide the answers to many questions concerning academics, activities, athletics, and traditions. Parents are encouraged to contact the school for additional information or to discuss any questions or concerns. The administration and faculty of Clark High School take an active interest in each student, as well as in the total school program, and look forward to working with you. Clark High School is a place where great things happen; it is tradition. Good things happen here because the students, parents, staff and faculty believe in making a difference. Be it in the classrooms, on the playing fields, on the stage, or in the community, Clark is known as a place that sets the standards for everyone else. Clark High School takes pride in being a school that loves its students.
