Chino Hills High School, abbreviated CHHS, is located in Chino Hills, California and is a public comprehensive high school serving a student body from three cities in the Chino Valley Unified School District. The school was established in 2001 and is located in the City of Chino Hills, which is in the southwest corner of San Bernardino County. The City of Chino Hills was Incorporated in 1991, and is now a community of 76,131. Chino Valley Unified School District serves over 29,000 students in Chino, Chino Hills, and south Ontario, slightly down from 30,659 three years ago. After years of rampant growth, enrollment has somewhat stabilized. The district employs over 2,400 people, and supports thirty-five schools including four comprehensive high schools and one continuation school.
The City of Chino Hills is in the midst of housing expansion, with multiple residential building projects under construction in the neighborhoods surrounding Chino Hills High School, and more homes under construction in neighboring Eastvale. This residential expansion is set to bring an enrollment increase to CHHS in the next several years. CHHS currently serves 2,891 students, whose student body reflects both ethnic and economic diversity. Although CHHS attendance area covers the southern portions of the district’s three cities, from the hills to the agricultural preserve, 90% of students who attend Chino Hills High School come from Chino Hills. CHHS is the largest high school in the district.
CHHS’ graduation rate was 95% in 2011 and 2012, increasing to 96% in 2013. This is above the district rate of 89% and the state rate of 80% in 2013. In 2013, the dropout rate at CHHS was 0.7%, down from 1.2% in 2011. This is lower than the district rate of 2%, the county rate of 4.2%, and the state rate of 3.9% in 2013. CHHS’ dropout rate is consistently less than district, county, and state totals.
In the early 2000s, the Chino Hills area was growing at a very rapid rate. Nearby Ruben S. Ayala High School was nearing 4,000 students and voters approved Measure M, a bond initiative to relieve overcrowding and build a second high school in Chino Hills. The first graduating class finished in 2005.
In 2009, the CHHS Schools for Schools club, a nationwide organization that works with Invisible Children organized school dances, book drives, and mobilized students to donate more than $10,400 and 18,000 books to Anaka Secondary School. The funds went to a new laboratory and classroom block for CHHS' sister school in Uganda. Chino Hills students Jennifer Umberg and Jessica Witten were awarded trips to visit Gulu. In 2011, the club raised $25,400 and will send a student and the adviser Mr.Lanathoua to visit Uganda in the summer of 2012.
