Chestermere High School
Chestermere High School is a public high school near Chestermere, Alberta, Canada. About 900 students were enrolled at this school before Grade 9 was removed in 2010 to reduce overcrowding. Currently, there are about 1100 students. The school features three parking lots, one for grades 10 and 11, one for 11 and 12, and a special one for the staff.
It was originally two separate schools: an elementary school and the other for grades 7–12. After an elementary school and middle school were erected in Chestermere, the two were joined by a hallway and the old school became a senior high. The hallway was torn down and renovated in 2008. The hallway now houses several murals, including one of Bob Marley - indicative of the culture throughout the administration.
