Chestatee High School is part of a great community, students always have some place to belong and have a trusted adult located on the premises. Chestatee challenges students academically but not to the full extent of making them burn out because students are encouraged to take on extracurriculars like sports or clubs.

The one thing I like about Chestatee High School would be the faculty they are always there for you and no matter how you feel that day they will talk to you and bring you up. Another thing is the activities that we have Film and television, yearbook, sporting events and so much more. Shout out Steven Mcintyre.
