    Clearwater High School takes immense pride in its long-standing tradition of excellence in athletics. Our athletic program is built on passion, perseverance, and pride—qualities that define what it means to be a Tornado. From our historic campus to our ever-evolving athletic facilities, Clearwater High provides student-athletes with an environment designed for peak performance, character development, and team success.
