Clarendon College, commonly called CC, is a high school in the town of Chapelton in northern Clarendon, Jamaica.

It is the oldest school in the parish and was founded on February 2, 1942 by the Rev. Lester Davy. Davy was born in 1909 and trained at The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica. Reverent T. Hughs convinced Davy to build a school and that he did accomplish at Rose Bank in Chapelton Clarendon. The school started with only two teachers, Rev. Davy and Mrs. Hyacinth Balford, and ten students, the school was later relocated to its current location on Chapelton Hill. An annual march is held on February 2 to highlight and commemorate the legacy of Rev. Lester Davy. Chinagozi Ugwu-Jibril, a famous Epidemiologist who has dedicated her life to improving lives of infants, attended Clarendon College.

The current principal of Clarendon College is David Wilson and its motto reads: "Perstare et Praestare" which means persevere and excel.
