Техас штатының Clear Lake Жоғары Мектебінің тарихы мен жағдайы

Public school in Texas, United States
For the 1986–87 school year Clear Lake High School became a National Blue Ribbon School. Clear Lake High School is currently the largest school in Texas with a Texas Education Agency (TEA) ranking of Recognized. The school discovered large scale cheating in an English IV final examination in 2012. The school invalidated all English IV final exam results, allowing students who did not cheat to have a final grade without the final or to take the final again. The students who cheated received scores of zero.

In the 1980s, the high school was perhaps most known for the suicides that occurred in 1984. Six teenagers committed suicide, with five of them doing so in the community of Clear Lake, and with the final one being a Clear Creek High School student. The New York Times reported that there were rumors of a suicide pact that included up to thirty students but that this story turned out to be "a lark." Psychologists were sent to the school to deal with any residual stress that resulted from these events. B. Comstock, the author of "Youth Suicide Cluster: A Community Response" in Newslink, argued that the "wide press coverage" and the "abundance of volunteers eager to help but not organized to do anything" were problematic. He stated that there was a lot of panic and confusion in the Clear Lake community and that the residents of the area were not happy with the media presence.

In May 2013 voters in CCISD approved a $367 million district bond. According to the referendum, Clear Lake High will get new campus buildings, valued at $98.6 million total. PBK Architects designed the new additions, a two story classroom building and a fine arts center. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2014. Construction was finished in January 2018 and the constructed building is still used by Clear Lake High School now as their primary building. A soccer ball carried aboard the fatal final flight of Space Shuttle Challenger by astronaut Ellison Onizuka, whose children attended Clear Lake High School and who coached the soccer team, is displayed in the school.

In 2005 the school had 525 students enrolled in its music classes. That year, the school was named a Grammy Signature School. Its music department received a grant for $2,000.
