The best part of Chesnee High School is the opportunity to go to Swofford Career Center. For the most part I have had a good experience at Chesnee High School.

Chesnee High School like any other school has it's pros and cons, but one thing that is certain the feeling of family that is created between the students and faculty. The teachers and staff are always ready to help their students and help them improve in the areas that they lack in. In times of need the school rallies together to help those that may need that help.

I loved the atmosphere at Chesnee. It was small, and calm most of the time. One thing I wish would change is the lack of freedom students have at Chesnee. There is a lot of rules to follow, and a simple break of a rule causes some harsh discipline. It needs to be changed.
