Clarke Central High School (CCHS) is located in Athens, Georgia. The school was created in 1970 by the merger of two high schools, Athens High School [2] and Burney-Harris High School [3], as a result of desegregation.

CCHS is in the Clarke County School District and is one of two traditional high schools in the district; the other is Cedar Shoals High School. The two schools have a rivalry known as the Classic City Championship.

Located in the heart of the city, CCHS's original building opened in 1952. Since then, the school has seen several renovations and additions. Most recently, a modern three-story classroom and lab addition opened in 2006. Other recent improvements include a new gymnasium, theater and food court.

The school is on a 4x4 Block Schedule, where students complete eight classes per year, divided up to four classes per semester. The classes are 90 minutes long, twice as long as the typical high school class.

In 2010, U.S. News and World Report awarded Clarke Central the Silver Medal and ranked the school in the top 3% of high schools nationwide and in the top 11 in the state of Georgia. Newsweek named CCHS one of America's Best Schools and placed it in the 96th percentile of high schools nationwide.[2]
