The Clover Bend High School is a historic community building on Arkansas Highway 228 in Clover Bend, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a main central hip-roofed block, symmetrical side wings with gable roofs, and a rear projecting auditorium section. It was built in 1937–38 with funding from the Farm Security Administration, with a number of additional buildings added to the complex in later years, including a gymnasium, elementary school, and administrator housing. This complex formed the core of a major rural resettlement project, which included more than 90 farms.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.^[1]
