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.

I loved chatham, and I love being able to represent them in the sports I do, but if I wanted more of a challenge in my education, I would have to go to college to do so.

Not having a good feeling about mo...
