Big things are happening in Clarksville classrooms!

Local high school seniors can now earn their CDL-A before graduation—at no cost—thanks to a partnership between CMCSS and community partners.

This hands-on program helps students jumpstart careers in trucking, skilled trades, and logistics, fields that are essential to keeping our economy moving.
Even better? These careers can lead to strong earning potential and real-world experience right out of high school.

Way to go, Clarksville, for building opportunity and strengthening our community at the same time!

A high school CDL-A program is preparing Clarksville students for in-demand careers while strengthening the regional workforce and supply chain.
