Up until the 1990s, it was known as Clara Barton H.S. for Health Professions. During that time, Health Professions was the only choice of study. Clara Barton H.S. had a wonderful Co-op Program, which allowed seniors in certain career fields, to work a week and go to school for a week. The school does not have an athletic field of its own but students do play sports on the Prospect High field.
