The arts and athletics seem to have more priority here, as a matter of fact and many kids partake in JROTC. http://www.ccsd.net/schools/lvhs/ Senshi attending LVHS: None Clark High School – Home of the “Chargers,” Clark High School seems to be the opposite of LVHS, with its emphasis on academics more so than extracurricular activities. There are also 3 magnet schools at Clark for those students who wish to study in a specialized area and earn extra college credit. http://www.ccsd.net/schools/clark/ Senshi attending CHS: Amika Cassidy (Disco) ** If applying for a character either in middle or elementary school, feel free to search up any schools in the Las Vegas area.
