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. Great 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.
