Wolf Pack builds on tradition as C-town’s original high school
The familiar creaks and groans of Old Main’s nearly 100-year-old floors greet Chandler students every morning. While most students are accustomed to the strange noises the old building makes, some believe it is the Chandler High spirit roaming the halls. CHS has a rich history that began in 1912 when it became the very first high school built in Chandler. Today, a diverse group of over 3,200 students from all types of backgrounds come together to form the loud and proud Wolf Pack. The tight-knit, open-minded group of students is not the only thing Chandler has to offer. The International Baccalaureate program is one of the best academic programs in the state, and the sports teams excel in every area. In fact, the girl’s track team has been number one in the state five years in a row. Chandler is also equipped with state-of-theart facilities for the film, robotics, graphic design, photography, swim and automotive technology programs. Chandler High is a place where everyone can find their niche and find success.
