History

In 2002, the Revere C-3 School District ended its high school and began sending its students to Clark County High School. [3] As of April 2012, there were some people in the Revere C-3 district using addresses from children's grandparents to send them to the K-8 program in the Clark County R-I district, even though Missouri law did not allow for school districts to enroll students from other districts without formal agreements. [4] The Revere C-3 district merged into the Clark County School District in summer 2012. [5]

In 2002, the Wyaconda C-1 School District ended its high school and began sending some of its students to Clark County High. [6] That district dissolved in 2008, and most of its students went to the Clark County school district. [7]

Ritchie Kracht began his term as superintendent circa 2006. In 2025 he was to take the superintendent post at Hannibal Public Schools. [8]

In 2024 there was a school board meeting about the possibility of closing Running Fox Elementary School. [9]

Lyndel Whittle will become the superintendent effective July 1, 2025. [10]
