The commands of clear, Ctrl+L, or reset are not adequate. They do not clear my terminal screen, they just seem to scroll the window down so I can't see everything above.
I want it so that I can't scroll up and see any previous history.

If you type reset it'll totally reinitialize your terminal instead of clearing your screen. You can setup a keyboard shortcut for that.
printf "\033c" also work well and takes less time.
You can alias it by alias cls='printf "\033c"' too. Now when you type cls terminal should get cleared.
For more detailed explaination take a look at this Stack Overflow question.
