Chestatee High School is a public high school located in Gainesville, Georgia, United States, operated by Hall County Schools. The school was established in 2002 when the enrollment at North Hall High School grew too large. The school serves the communities of Gainesville, Murrayville, and Dawsonville.
Chestatee High School is an American four-year comprehensive public high school, one of six high schools serving students in Hall County, Georgia. It is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Atlanta. It serves 1,120 students in grades 9–12. Chestatee Middle School feeds into Chestatee High School.
Chestatee competes in Sub-Division A of Region 7-AAA. Chestatee fields teams in football, baseball, basketball (boys' and girls'), marching band, cheerleading/competition cheerleading, softball, cross country, tennis, track and field, wrestling, soccer (boys' and girls'), and volleyball. The school is a member of the Georgia High School Association. Chestatee now competes in subdivision A of 8-AAA.
The school's mascot is the War Eagle, and its colors are maroon, silver, and black. The most famous fight song of CHS is "We ain't never scared," performed by the school's band. An older tradition that has been dropped is the "War Eagle Walk," in which the school's football team walked through the stands onto the field during home games.
The school's creed was initially "Chestatee... the place to be!" then "Chestatee, soaring to excellence," and, most recently, "Chestatee... illuminating minds and changing lives."
One of the newest traditions is the football team entering the field through the band while playing fight songs, then running through their banner. The school's student section is called "the black mob," named after the black paint usually painted on the bodies of the students.
The War Eagle Band began in 2002 under the direction of Daniel Merck. The program started with a total of 48 players and has grown to 220, making them the largest band in Hall County. Since 2002, the band has performed and competed in numerous festivals and competitions where they have received superior ratings. The band's community involvement has grown much support for the program.
