Clarksburg High School

Increasing enrollment forced Clarksburg to install four portable classrooms for the 2008–09 school year.

The Pathways in Network and Information Technology Program (P-TECH) is a dual enrollment program that enables participating students to earn both a MCPS high school diploma and an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree from Montgomery College for free while in high school.

Certifications will be earned in microcomputer technician and network administration in either Microsoft or Cisco or in wireless technologies.

Additionally, the program will afford participating students mentoring and a paid summer employment opportunity within the technical industry in Montgomery County.

Two shows, at least one a musical, are produced each year and have included Tarzan, Once Upon a Mattress, The Little Princess, In The Heights, and The Little Mermaid.

The team also traveled to MIT for the Lemelson-MIT EurekaFest event in 2009, having created a pressure-sensitive illuminated computer cable.

Sarah Debelius Costlow, the Signature Program Coordinator, and Paul Koda, a science teacher, sponsored the team.

Notable accomplishments of The Spirit of Clarksburg include performances in Shanghai, China, performing in the Shanghai Tourism Festival Parade at the beginning of the 2009–2010 school year, as well as in the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington, D.C., in 2012.

They also annually attend the locally televised Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade in Silver Spring, MD every November.

Additionally, in the 2022 competitive season, The Spirit of Clarksburg received 1st place in MMBA state finales at Towson University.

They perform during school pep rallies and during football games at Coyote Canyon, in the stands as well as during half-time.

The boys' soccer team, coached by Jeremiah Spoales, won the state championship for the 2009 season.
