Chico High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Chico, California. It currently has 2,083 students.
Founded in 1902, it predominately serves as the senior school for graduates of Chico Junior High School. In 2008, for the first time, Chico High ended off-campus lunch privileges for freshman students.
Since 1967, it has competed with cross-town rival Pleasant Valley High School at the annual Almond Bowl in junior varsity and varsity football. The game was unnamed in the schools' first three meetings, but local businessmen led by KPAY-AM radio executive Frank Mertz named the contest "Almond Bowl" before the 1970 clash, when the schools were members of the newly formed Eastern Athletic League. The freshman game is unofficially referred to as the Peanut Bowl; Chico Junior High School played Bidwell Junior High School from the time of Bidwell's establishment in 1958 until 1992, after which freshmen were incorporated into the high schools.
