How exciting! It is time to celebrate!

The 2018 school grades were just released, and Clearwater High School received a “B” designation from the State of Florida! It takes the entire village, (faculty, support staff, students, district support, parents and community members) to make this happen!
Congratulations to the class of 2018! Great job! You will be missed!

A 94.5% Graduation rate,with 82% of the class receiving at least one college credit!

Back to School Night will be Tuesday, August 28th.

Two years in a row, The Washington Post has rated Clearwater High School as the most rigorous High School in Pinellas County! We were ranked 1st in Pinellas County, 49th in the state, 235th in the nation! Way to go CHS!

Three times, Clearwater High School has been recognized as a Model School by the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). Hundreds of schools apply, and approximately twenty of the nation’s highest performing and rapidly improving schools are accepted as models. We were recognized for continuing to raise rigor and relevance for our students through a personalized relationship building learning approach within a Wall-to-Wall Academy Model. The availability of industry certifications and internship opportunities truly prepares our students to be college and career ready.

Clearwater High School received the Family and Community Involvement Award at the state level!
"Spark plugs" for Family and Community Involvement
The award is sponsored by the Florida PTA, the Florida Department of Education, State Farm Insurance and Wells Fargo!
It's is designed to promote and recognize exemplary school practices that increase family and community involvement. All entries must be school-initiated projects that focus on specific family and/or community involvement strategies.

Clearwater High School believes in the philosophy of continual improvement. Over the last few years, we have made numerous enhancements to our curriculum and facility. Our advanced placement, dual enrollment, and honors programs continue to grow and excel. Dual enrolment opportunites are available to our student through Saint Petersburg College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautial University. The Advanced International Certificate of Education program (AICE) is an innovative and accelerated method of academic study offered solely through the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), a division of the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England. Please see your counselor if interested in this wonderful program.

As we all know, students are more engaged with technology than ever before! Thus, we have been compelled to utilize the concept of “Bring Your Own Technology” (B.Y.O.T.). As a result, students are allowed to appropriately use their own technology on our campus, and we encourage it! Students are allowed to engage their own devices for researching the internet, gaining access to digital materials and content, review grades and attendance, and much more! If your child does not own their own technology, or if you prefer, they may check out a electronic reader from our school. As we progress, technology will continue to become a more integral part of our school curriculum. Rules and policies for appropriate technology use while on our campus, and how to obtain an e-reads will be given out during your child's homeroom. Homeroom lists will be posted soon!

To ensure and improve student performance, Clearwater High School implemented a sweeping change from traditional school enrollment to Wall-to-Wall Academies with industry certification options, truly preparing our students to be college and career ready!
These academies function as Small Leaning Communities and are centered on key interest areas of our Clearwater High students. This “academy environment” offers each student more personalized attention, recognition and care from teachers, staff, and peers. Integral to this “Academy Methodology” is the interest and career-themed approach designed to engage all students with learning that is rigorous and relevant!

Our Academies:
1. BLIS Academy of Business, Leadership, & International Studies (includes CAICC & ROTC)
2. STEAM Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering, Aeronautics, & Mathematics
3. FAME Academy of Fine Arts & Media Education
4. SHARE Academy of Sports, Hospitality, and Recreational Education

If you have a not selected your academy, please see contact your child’s counselor to declare it!

Congratulations to Clearwater High School! The Career Academy for International Culture and Commerce (CAICC) has been designated a MODEL Academy by the National Career Academy Coalition (N.C.A.C.)! Our school was honored at the N.C.A.C. National Conference in Tampa! N.C.A.C. indicated that it is quite evident that the passion of the school team (teachers and staff), coupled with the support of the administration, and the intense focus of our business community, has created a sustaining program for students, parents and the community! The rigor of the curriculum and the depth of our industry partnerships are to be commended!
