Peter H. Clark Montessori Junior High and High School, usually referred to as Clark Montessori, is a junior and senior high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Its best location was in the Hyde Park–area woods, on the former estate of Ohio Governor Myers Y. Cooper (1929–1931), with trails in its "backyard".[1] Recently completed in these woods is a small, ancient-Greek–style amphitheatre. It has recently been temporally relocated as the old building in hyde park is currently under renovation. Clark Montessori is currently located in Jacobs center next to Winton Terrace at the intersection of Dutch colony Winton road. It now has a complete trail in the woods surrounding it as well as a wood fire pizza oven, both created by Clark students. According to fromal principal Tom Rothwell we are "The number one school in the nation." Clarks Mascott is the Clark Couger, and its school colors are black, blue, and white. Its sports teams include Football, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, and Bowling. It also has numerous clubs and organizations which include: Ski club, Web site club, art club, bee club, Ultimate Frisbee club, SAW (Students Against War), student council, as well as others.
Clark is a public school, part of the Cincinnati Public Schools. Founded in 1994 as a seventh-grade extension of existing district Montessori elementary schools, Clark expanded with its first class to become a full junior and senior high school by the 1999–2000 school year, making it the first public Montessori high school in the United States.[1] While its Hyde Park location is being renovated, Clark is being housed along with Dater Montessori High School (Now known as West Side Montessori High School) at the Jacobs Center in North Side.[2]
The school has been given a rating of "effective" by Cincinnati Public Schools.
