Charleston High School -

CHS Picture Day is Friday, August 21 for all students.

Attention CHS Interns!

Charleston High School announces that all Underclass Football Games for the Fall 2026 season have been canceled. This decision was made after careful consideration of current participation numbers and the overall long-term health of the football program. Our priority is the safety and well-being of our student-athletes. At this time, roster sizes do not allow us to field underclass teams in a manner that provides the depth necessary to ensure athlete safety throughout the season. While this was a difficult decision, we believe it is the most responsible course of action for our players and the future of the Charleston High School football program. By focusing our resources on player development, training, and building participation at all levels, we are committed to strengthening the program and creating a sustainable foundation for future seasons. We understand this news is disappointing to our student-athletes, families, and supporters. We appreciate the dedication and support of our football community and remain committed to providing a positive and safe experience for all student-athletes as we continue to build for the future. All players will be allowed to attend practices and events throughout the season. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Charleston High School Athletics.

High School Families, please check out these important dates! Parking permit sales are this week.
