History
Chandler High School
In 1913 the City of Chandler became eligible for a high school. By September 1914, a separate high school district was created. The high school then began to offer courses in 1914-1915. The first graduation exercises were held at the close of the school year in 1918 with 3 graduates.
Chandler High began to develop their Athletic Program as early as the 1920’s. Even though baseball has been around since the 1840’s Chandler’s first team was a traveling baseball team dating back to 1918/1919.
Here in Chandler the Historical Society has built a Museum which is home to the Chandler Sports Hall of Fame exhibit. The Chandler Sports Hall of Fame honors Chandler residents who have excelled in athletics at the high school, collegiate, amateur or professional levels.
