Clarksville High School

What Clarksville High School does

Clarksville High School is a public high school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 as one of eight traditional high schools in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System (CMCSS). CMCSS serves more than 36,000 students across 40 schools and also operates elementary, middle, alternative, virtual, technical-college, and adult-education programs. Clarksville High School is located at 151 Richview Road and receives districtwide college- and career-readiness support, including TN Promise and FAFSA assistance.

Clarksville High School uses a district-shared operating environment rather than a standalone proprietary platform. Student records, identity, communications, devices, transport, meals, athletics, and safety are supported by PowerSchool, ClassLink, Microsoft Office 365, ParentSquare, a 1:1 laptop program for grades 4-12, StopFinder, SchoolCafe, GoFan, OpenGate, Raptor, and Content Keeper/Bark. OpenGate is deployed across all eight traditional high schools and athletic events; Raptor screens visitors against databases in all 50 states, and Content Keeper/Bark flags specified keywords on district equipment and Wi-Fi. No AI modality, proprietary model, or public developer API is identified.

District operations are funded primarily through local taxes, state appropriations, and federal grants rather than K-12 tuition, which is free. Ancillary income includes paid student meals, a $75 HiSET test, a $2 transcript-processing fee, and athletic-event ticket sales. Enrollment is processed through zoned schools, an Enrollment Center, online Parent Self Service, a K-12 Virtual School, and adult programs; the served customer base consists of students and families rather than commercial accounts.
