Chilhowie High School
I love going to this school, well I might not love it, but hey I'm a teenager. There are many choices for classes, and most of the teachers are great (You are always going to have a teacher you don't get along with good.) and understanding. It is a small school, and everyone knows each other. The cafeteria staff is awesome and so is some of the lunches. There are many sports to choose from like for example the football team which is the most popular, and is very good. We made it to regionals last season and hope to make it to state this year. Another sport is cheerleading which I take part in, it is tons of fun and the squad is like a family. Volleyball is one of the other sports many girls play, and basketball is also very popular here at CHS. We have croos-country, indoor track, and outdoor track also. The track teams are very good also. We are the Chilhowie Warriors, and our school colors are orange and black, so on Homecoming week the school will look like Halloween from all the orange and black ballons and posters. Anyone eho goes to Chilhowie High will not want to graduate from all the fun that is here.
