Chaffey High School is a public secondary school in Ontario, California. It is one of the eleven schools of the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The school rests on approximately 65 acres, making it one of the largest high schools by area in California.
History: The Chaffey College of Agriculture, founded by the Ontario founders George and William Chaffey, opened on October 15, 1885. The institution, which also had a secondary school, was operated by the University of Southern California until 1901, when it came under the control of the local community and was renamed Ontario High School. In 1911, enrollment was opened to students from Upland and the school was renamed in honor of the Chaffey brothers. Almost all the high school-age students in western San Bernardino County attended Chaffey, a trend that continued until the 1950s. The school's buildings were rebuilt and many new ones were constructed during the government public works programs of the New Deal. Chaffey College continued to operate on the campus until 1960, when it was relocated to the nearby community of Alta Loma.
Curriculum: Chaffey offers college preparatory, honors, and Advanced Placement courses. The student newspaper is called the Eye of the Tiger. Students are offered the opportunity to earn school credit as they simultaneously gain work experience through the Regional Occupational Program.
There are four theaters on the Chaffey campus, including Gardiner W. Spring Auditorium, Merton E. Hill Auditorium, the Nelson Palmer Little Theater, and Tiger Auditorium.
Clubs: African-American Student Union; Astronomical Society; AVID; Ballet Folkl�rico Tenochtitlan; California Scholarship Federation; French club; MEChA; Natural Environment of Southern California; Thespians; United States Academic Decathlon - Chaffey currently has two teams, and their Black team took second place in the countywide competition in the 2005-2006 school year.
Notable alumni: Hobie Alter, surfing entrepreneur.
Jim Brulte, California Assemblyperson.
Anthony Mu�oz, professional American football player.
Robert Shaw, conductor.
Joseph Wambaugh, fiction author.
Bonnie Warner, Olympic luger.
