I can't write a very detailed review due to limited space, but I just want to say that I highly recommend CHS if you are looking for a high school in CMCSS. This is my third year at Clarksville High School, and I am so glad this is where I get to make my high school memories. The teachers are very friendly, intelligent, helpful, and it's very obvious how much they love their students. CHS offers many different courses (including AP and Dual-Enrollment), sports, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities. You can see the school spirit as soon as you enter the door. CHS has lots of different events from Homecoming Week to the ultimate frisbee competition to movie nights to tailgating to Lip Syncs to Field Day. These aren't even a quarter of the events CHS has throughout the year. There are so many opportunities to bond with your fellow Wildcats. There are all different types of people at CHS- preppy, jocks, country, hipster, "nerdy", etc. Everyone tends to be one big family and gets along great. If you want more information, check out the CHS website or the CHS Instagram and Twitter accounts (WildcatHAPPS). Close Quote

the school doesnt have many choices for to take forign language... in other states there are like 10-15 different type to choose from(the east side of america) The school's level and course are regular and honors in Clarksville high school. but in the other parts of usa has Regular, honors and GT/AP. I think the schools in TN should have GT(Gifted and Talented) classes too. Close Quote
