About UsThe Clark High School Orchestra program has the largest high school enrollment in the state of Nevada. Our school community believes that the arts are an important component of a complete education. It is the goal of the fine arts department to have every student at Clark High School engage in a fine arts course during their tenure at Clark. The Clark High School Orchestra has a current enrollment of over 400 students. We offer nine sections of orchestra classes at five levels – Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonic Orchestra, Symphonic Strings, Concert Strings and Sonata Strings. The Orchestras meet every day in an alternating pattern of large heterogeneous rehearsals and smaller homogeneous sectionals.
