Originally built on School Court in 1934,[4] the old building which was in need of more than just a few repairs was destroyed and replaced by a park. The current building was built on the same plot of land as the Elementary and Middle school are built on, and then was opened in September 2003.[5]
Sports edit
Chilton's 1969 football team went undefeated.[6] The team included future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Dave Casper.[6] It outscored their opponents 363–0 in eight games,[6] had 98-49 first down advantage, rushed 1810 yards to 116 for their opponents, outpassed their opponents 702 - 203, with a total offense of 2512 yards versus 399.[7] Their lowest margin of victory was 7-0 and second lowest margin was 33–0.[7] The small-town team was ranked eighth in the state behind the largest schools in the state; there was no playoff system at the time.[6] In 2017, the Pro Football Hall of Fame named the school one of 109 "Hometown Hall of Fame" schools because of Casper.[8]
