I have been going to Clarkston for about 4 years now, I'm on my last year as a senior. I'm enjoying it so far, the school overall isn't bad. The diversity is really nice, since we have students from all over the world. The school spirit itself isn't the best, some students don't care for school spirit. I believe faculty members should do a little more to raise the school spirit up, so students can have a little fun.

I went here all four years of my high school career. I was able to pave a path that lead me to college being that I was very involved. I played soccer for the school and was part of JROTC. I feel as though it is quite easy to get stuck in the norm of not going on to college in this town, but fortunately for me I made it out. I hated the food going here, like I remember going hours on end of the school day without food. I would also like to see more involvement from parents. Not sure how this can be encouraged, but it would be a helpful resource for the students.
