History

Following integration, North Myrtle Beach High School was created out of Wampee-Little River High School (the white school) and Chestnut High School (the black school). These two schools covered an attendance zone including Atlantic Beach, Little River, Longs, and the newly incorporated North Myrtle Beach. The school mascot, the "Chiefs", and the school colors were voted on by a committee consisting of one member from each of the six grades of the original two schools. The previous mascots were the "Indians" (Wampee), and the "Braves" (Chestnut). The school's colors of blue and gold are a combination of Wampee High School's blue and white, and Chestnut High School's maroon and gold.
