History
The borough's board of education informed the Chatham Township in 1953 district that the high school would not be able to accommodate township students after the 1959-60 school year, leading the township's board of education to consider establishing a regional district or constructing its own high school.[1] Voters in Chatham Township approved the building of a high school in September 1960, with a referendum to spend $1,750,000 in a bond offering passing by a 4-1 margin and completion expected in time for the 1962-63 school year.[2] Chatham Township High School opened to students in September 1962 for grades seven through nine, with students still in Chatham Borough High School completing their education there.[3][4]
The graduating class of 1911, the school's first, included six students.[5] The class of 1988, with a total of 105 seniors, was the 76th and final graduating class of the borough's high school.[6]
The Chatham Borough High School building was repurposed as the Chatham Borough Hall.[5]
Athletics
The school's sports teams were known as the Eskies.[7]
The ice hockey team won the Gordon Cup in 1962, 1967 and 1968.[8]
The baseball team won the North II Group I state sectional final in 1970 and won the Group I state title in 1979, defeating Burlington Township High School in the finals of the tournament.[9]

At the meeting it was revealed that by 1960 'there is little, if any, possibility that Township students will be accepted' in Chatham Borough High School, where they are now sent; and by then the Township Board will either have to participate in a regional program or build a high school of its own"
