A Message from our Principal

July 13, 2022


Welcome to Chesnee High School, home of the Eagles!

As the new principal of Chesnee High School, I am excited to write this letter. I spent my first summer at CHS learning the building, the classrooms and the athletic facilities. I enjoyed watching various summer camps, as well as scrimmages and it was a pleasure meeting staff, students and parents as they came in. It has been a great start to a new school year!

I am passionate about education as I believe it is the key to success for our students, our community and our country. Throughout my career, I have been a teacher at multiple levels as well as an administrator at the elementary and high school levels. I am both elated and honored to be part of such a special place, and I am thrilled to join the Chesnee family where I can continue to work with students, staff and parents.

This year, we will work hard to continue the legacy of success established at Chesnee High School by building strong relationships with parents, students, staff and community partners. Driven by a growth mindset, together, we will focus on the use of data to improve instruction and provide challenging opportunities to ensure all of our students are college and career ready.

I am thankful to have the opportunity to serve as your principal. I look forward to immersing myself into our school and community. I plan to do everything I can to put our students and our staff in a position to succeed. My door is always open, and I welcome your input. Please feel free to stop in, e-mail or call and make an appointment to discuss how we can make this year the best it can be!

Best regards,
Mr. G
