Our two daughters graduated from CHS. They had a very good experience overall and were well prepared for college. CHS has the best fine arts, honors/AP, and athletic offerings in the area.

The school continues to work very hard to improve student learning. They also work very hard to promote positive behaviors in students lives that will hopefully carry on with them the rest of their lives. Way to go River Kings and Queens! Let's keep it up.

Clinton High School is THE best high school in the area! From our academic accomplishments, to sports, to extra curricular activities...CHS offers it all. I am not only a proud alumni but a current parent and there is NO other school in the surrounding area that I would choose!

As both a CHS graduate and parent of a current CHS student, I can say I am proud to be a River King. Our child is thriving at CHS and we are very pleased with all aspects of her education and the many options available for extra curricular activities. The teachers are genuinely interested in her academic success. The current principal is doing an amazing job, we couldn't be happier with his goal to instill pride in his students. We will have at least one of our three children enrolled at CHS for the next 9 years and we wouldn't have it any other way.

As a former student, i am a proud alumni! Our facilities are amazing and the staff was great! Lots of caring individuals and a ton of extracurricular options. I participated in World Language Club, Cheerleading and RSVP. Its a great school and my memories there are wonderful. I am thankful for how well I was prepared for college.

CHS is an excellent school, and only getting better! It's a place where kids are offered many ways to succeed, as they prepare for their futures. A place with a variety of courses for everyone to explore, and an abundance of extracurricular activities. Parental involvement is made simple, as they may go online and view how their student is doing at any time, leaving children with little excuse not to be doing their best! If they are falling behind, there are many chances to work hard and get back on track! Many CHS teachers go out of their way to help students succeed. Also, students have positive leadership in Principal Kuch, who has had an amazing impact on CHS this year! He has helped to bring fun and pride into the hallways, and the future is looking bright for the River Kings and Queens!!!

Clinton High School is a school our children have had the opportunity to grow not only in knowledge but also in self confidence and leadership. Every student is given the chance and encouraged to participate in honor and AP classes. This prepares the students for their college years and beyond. The administration and teaching staff are of top quality and ready to help every student that needs it. Top notch high school and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent place to learn! Teachers and staff care about the needs of the entire student body. They are friendly and extremely helpful in and out of the classroom. There are growing opportunities at Clinton High School, academically and athletically, advanced courses are open to enroll in and even new sports complexes for use.
