Chaney High School is a public high school in Youngstown, Ohio, United States. It is one of four secondary schools in the Youngstown City School District. Athletic teams will compete as the Chaney Cowboys and Cowgirls in the Ohio High School Athletic Association in 2018.

In 2011, Chaney High School was closed and changed into a vocal Performing Arts school as well as a STEM fields school as part of a restructure of area schools. However, in 2017, it was announced by Youngstown City School District CEO Krish Mohip that Chaney High School would be reconfigured into a traditional structure, as a part of the entire district being reconfigured into neighborhood schooling.

Sports

History

In its first incarnation, Chaney offered baseball, basketball, bowling, football, and track for boys as well as basketball, bowling, cheerleading, softball, volleyball, and track were sponsored for girls.

Although the football team never won a state title (their best finish was a loss in the Division-III state championship game in 1997), Chaney produced several college standouts and NFL athletes, such as former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL MVP Frank Sinkwich,[2] Jerry Olsavsky, Mike Zordich, Matt Cavanaugh, Anthony Floyd, Brad Smith and Keilen Dykes.

Chaney football also won more city titles than any other school prior to the 2006–07 school year when the Youngstown City Series was dissolved.[3] The Chaney football team played their last season in the 2010–11 school year due to the reorganization of the Youngstown City School District.
