My experience at Cheraw High has been good over all we only have had one safety scare and it was handled quickly and effectively. Here at school most teachers are willing to help you with anything even if they are not specialized in it.

At Cheraw High I have experienced the best times from being acknowledged from sports and my academic dedication. I love my school but they can be strict sometimes by not allowing us to be teenagers. I personally would like to see a change in the way some things are ran because of the failure to prepare but mainly I want to see a change within the levels of academics. Why ? , because some students don't push themselves hard enough even when teachers try to encourage them they just don't try. All in all, I love my school and wouldn't trade it for nothing !!

Cheraw High school is a school where you meet new people and make new friends. It is a welcoming and accepting environment no matter what you look like or your race. I would definitely recommend others to come check out what it's like to a be a brave and CHS.
