Chattahoochee High School (colloquially referred to as "Hooch" [2] ) is a public high school in Johns Creek, Georgia, United States, within the Fulton County School System. It is located next to its only feeder school, Taylor Road Middle School.
It has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as one of America's Blue Ribbon Schools. Chattahoochee was named the 6th Best Public High School in Georgia by Niche. [3] In 2019, it was named a National PTSA School of Excellence and ranked as a top high school in U.S. World & News Report (#282 Nationally, #9 in Georgia). [4] It was given a rating of 9 out of a possible 10 by Great Schools Rating. [5]
The High School opened in the 1991–92 school year [2] replacing the now-closed Crestwood High School. In 1992, the first time a cougar appeared, which was the mascot of the school. 1993 saw enrollment rise to 2200 due to the rapidly growing Alpharetta area. The football stadium opened on September 17, 1993. The following year, the school population continued to increase to 2460. The auditorium and CT Halls were built to attempt to keep up with population growth. [6] In 1995, increased enrollment (2600) forced it to go with a split day, starting freshmen (9 AM) two hours after upperclassmen (7 AM) which would continue for the next two years. Administration added a minute to the bell schedule and parking became a senior only privilege. This continued to increase, forcing the addition of 14 trailers in 1996 to accommodate the students in a school designed for 1800. The opening of Centennial High School in 1997 reduced student population by 600 students in 1997–98 to 2200. [7] The number of students would continue to fluctuate between 2005 (2004-2005 school year) and 2814 (2001-2002) as the rapidly growing Johns Creek area was fueling student growth and the Fulton County School System was building schools to relieve the overcrowding such as Northview (2002), Alpharetta (2004), and Johns Creek (2009).
