New programs for students going through the trades route. Could have more organizations that support more than just a few areas of interest (more robotics, coding, etc. or fine arts).

I honestly would say the best part about Chanute High School was the friendships and relationships you have with teachers and friends. The teachers want you to succeed here and have a good career. The counselors help you find out what you want to do with your future especially when you don't know or are confused. They also have this program that prevents people at risk of dropping out of high school so you don't throw their life away. There's honestly no bad thing about the school. Thank you for listening to my experience.

I'm beyond happy to be able to attend Chanute High School and I wouldn't change it for anything. I feel that our school is extremely progressive and the administration truly cares about their students.
