Clovis High School

What Clovis High School does

Clovis High School (CHS) is a public secondary school located at 1055 Fowler Avenue, Clovis, California, and has been operating since 1899 as one of six comprehensive high schools within the Clovis Unified School District (CUSD). The school serves students in grades 9–12 residing within its designated attendance boundary in Fresno County, delivering a college-preparatory academic program that includes core subjects (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Physical Education), Advanced Placement and Honors courses, world languages, performing and visual arts, Career Technical Education (CTE/ROP and CART partnerships), an agriculture program, and the AVID college-readiness curriculum. The co-curricular and athletic portfolio is extensive: 26 CIF sports across three seasons, academic clubs (CSF, National Honor Society, Academic Block C), performing ensembles (Choir, Drama, Instrumental Music, Folklorico, Marimba), and peer counseling, complemented by social-emotional wellness supports and special education services including a collaborative mentoring program.

The school's technology stack is district-provided rather than proprietary, centered on a 1:1 laptop program with Clever as the single sign-on portal for digital learning applications, Google Workspace for Education for productivity, and Illuminate as the student information system. Parent and student communication runs through ParentSquare, with StudentConnect/ParentConnection for grades and attendance; the library operates a 5,000+ book catalog via Destiny Discover with Gale research databases for academic support. Adaptive learning tools (i-Ready, Edgenuity, Xello) are deployed for diagnostics, credit recovery, and college/career planning. The school holds the Anti-Defamation League's "No Place for Hate" designation and partners with Character Strong for social-emotional learning.

CHS does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Operating funding is provided through California state education funding and local property taxes as part of CUSD, with the district noting it receives approximately $300 per child less than the statewide unified-district average — a gap partially offset by foundation fundraising. Ancillary revenue consists of small-scale retail: yearbooks sold at $85 through RevTrak, P.E. uniforms and spirit wear through the on-campus student store, and donations raised by the Cougar Foundation via tiered memberships ($5–$1,000+) and an annual Cougar Country BBQ fundraiser. The school is governed as part of CUSD by an elected Board of Trustees and has no venture capital, private equity, or commercial ownership structure.
