- Clear Lake High School is a public secondary school located in Houston, Texas, United States.
- The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Clear Creek Independent School District.

Its colors are red, blue, and white. Its mascot and symbol is the Falcon.
- History
-
Clear Lake High School opened in 1972 [1] to alleviate overcrowding at what was then the district's only high school, Clear Creek High School. The first class graduated in 1973 . The current campus has a ninth grade center — formerly Space Center Middle School — field house, and athletic fields, all across the street from the University of Houston–Clear Lake.
- The ninth grade annex was added to the Clear Lake High School campus when Space Center Middle School moved to a newly opened campus for the 1998-1999 school year.
- For the 1986-87 school year Clear Lake High School became a National Blue Ribbon School.
- 1984 suicides
-
In the 1980s, the high school was perhaps most known for the six suicides that occurred in September and October 1984. The New York Times reported that there were rumors of a suicide pact that included up to thirty students but that this story turned out to be "a lark." Psychologists were sent to the school to deal with any residual stress that resulted from these events, though Clear Lake High School today has a higher than average suicide rate among students compared to other high schools in the country. The New York Times reports that the suicides of the 1980s were quickly forgotten.
