Alma mater
For years, Clover Hill High School went without an Alma Mater. Recently the school's top choir, Acropolis, of the year 2009-2010 composed a new school song:
- The call of the green and gold fills us,
- It pulls and draws us near,
- To fight and win for those colors,
- Which oh we hold so dear,
- A sweeping tide of Cavalier pride,
- From the halls of Clover Hill,
- We will always feel within us,
- The call of the green and gold.
Overcrowding
Due to overcrowding at Clover Hill, a new high school, Cosby High School, opened in 2006[5] in the western part of the county. A new Clover Hill High School, located a bit farther east, opened in 2010 and has replaced the old CHHS.
