Mission Statement: The mission of Chatham County Schools is to graduate globally competitive, well-rounded students by providing a rigorous and relevant curriculum in an effective, safe, and nurturing learning environment.Chatham County Schools has 7,900 students in its seventeen schools. A new school with a student capacity of 650, Margaret B. Pollard Middle School, opened in January of 2011. The school has many “green” features and has applied for LEED Gold certification. If accepted, the school will become the first LEED Gold certified middle school in North Carolina.For the size of the school district, Chatham offers many Honors and Advanced Placement courses. Additionally, online and college level courses as well as award-winning arts and Career and Technical Education programs are available to high school students.All three traditional high schools have the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. The voluntary program targets middle-performing students and those who will be first generation college students who have the desire, academic potential, and determination to succeed in a rigorous high school curriculum. High school staff work with 300 students across the district in the AVID program. Due to its success, AVID strategies are now being used with other high school and middle school students.
