I remember being scared to step into Chatham High School but I think this is the best high school in pittsylvania county. My experience here was so welcoming. when I first came here the administrators and students were so welcoming and they made me feel like I belong here. They always made sure you were comfortable and if you liked your classes. my overall experience here, being a senior, was wonderful.
