Winston Salem Journal - Community Milestones
Carl Clarke has been inducted into the Reich College of Education's Rhododendron Society at Appalachian State University. A native of Belmont, Clarke graduated from ASU in 1952 with a bachelor's degree in English and physical education. He received his master's degree in 1960 from UNC Greensboro, and in 1977 returned to Appalachian to earn his Ed.S. degree.
Clarke retired from the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools in 1990, after 38 years in public education. In his honor, the school board named a new street for him at Glenn High School, and a football field at East Forsyth High School.
An avid actor and performer, Clarke played the lead of Jack Stuart in the early years of Boone's outdoor drama Horn in the West. He directed, in collaboration with the Charlotte Opera Association, the southern premiere of Amahl and the Night Visitors, and also directed the Kernersville Bicentennial production in 1971.
