Chatham Charter High School
Chatham Charter High School is a charter school in Siler City, North Carolina. The school opened in August 2013 with 115 students, and will add a freshman class every year until the school reaches around 200 students in the high school. The school sits on 39 acres and a 43,000 square foot facility. The education for grades 9–12 is a middle college model; students take core classes as 9th and 10th graders, then take courses through Central Carolina Community College as 11th and 12th graders. This results in students earning a large number of transferable college credits while simultaneously earning their high school diplomas.
