Chris Vaughn has been at the school since 2003. After serving as an assistant football coach, US History teacher and assistant principal, he began leading Clarksville High School as principal in the Fall of 2006. Heather Crenshaw serves as the campus Student Service Coordinator.

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.
