Homecoming Week at Clark County High School was a success. There were slight changes in the planned schedule due to unforeseen events but our local Bobcats celebrated with vigor. Flag Football, Powder Puff, Beef Cake Volleyball and tailgating entertained students and community members throughout the week. Thursday’s scheduled volleyball matches with Leadore were canceled. Students, faculty, staff, and community families had fun with their planned party! The Homecoming parade was on Saturday followed by volleyball matches that afternoon. Clark County Bobcats show their school spirit and pride working together as a kind community.
