We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Chilhowie High School has an inviting, nurturing environment, that lends itself to the success of every student. When entering CHS, I was pretty apprehensive, but that quickly went away. I knew that I was in a place where I could thrive, through the support of the staff and the connection that they make with their students.

Overall I would rate my experience at this school very highly. The teachers are amazing at their jobs. They taught me very well and I've gained a lot of unexpected experience in not only the subject I was learning, but life lessons too.
