Clarke Central High School (CCHS) is located in Athens, Georgia. In 1970, Clarke County schools were desegregated, and the high school for black children, Burney-Harris High School (formerly Athens High and Industrial School), and the high school for white children, Athens High, merged to establish Clarke Central. Classes in the newly formed school began in 1971.〔(). "Clarke Central High School". Retrieved June 6, 2015.〕〔(). "Group slowly collecting artifacts from Burney-Harris High".

The two schools have a rivalry known as the Classic City Championship. The Clarke County School District is also home to a third, non traditional high school, Classic City High.
