It is part of the Clarksville Independent School District located in central Red River County and classified as a 2A school by the UIL.

Accountability Rating

In past years, the campus had fallen victim to lower and lower test scores on the state-mandated TAKS Test. The District was determined to turn things around. After much hard work from educators and students, the Clarksville High School went from being an unacceptable campus to a "Recognized Campus" in 2009-2010.

School Song

All hail Alma Mater

Thy queen of all the rest

In all our fond memories

Thy name we love the best

And as we walk the path of life

And sail the storm-tossed seas

Our beacon of light shall ever be

Our days at Clarksville High School

C*H*S!!!

The tune of the school song is based on the Piu Andante theme from the Fourth Movement of Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 1. A recording by the Columbia University Orchestra can be found here.
