Chatsworth Charter High School is a charter secondary school located in Chatsworth in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, U.S.

History

The campus was built with one-story buildings around a central quad as land was inexpensive and an open, outdoor feeling was consistent with the area. The administration building anchors the southeast end of the quad, while the cafeteria and auditorium anchors the northwest end. Athletics are on the other side of the internal roadway.

Activities

Chatsworth's Chancellor band was the last LAUSD band to go to the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, January 1, 1969, as the system of selecting a school's band was changed to selecting players from each band. The band was led by music teacher Irwin Pope and co-drum majors Eric Micko and Loring Kutchins. Although the Chatsworth band itself couldn't march as a whole through the Pasadena Tournament of Roses parade, the band still promoted its members through the Los Angeles Unified School District All District High school honor band. More recently, multiple students from the Chatsworth Chancellor band have auditioned and made it in the Los Angeles Unified School District All District High School honor band.

Chatsworth's Drama Department participates in Fall and Shakespeare DTASC Festivals every year, earning recognition in acting and technical design. The department puts on a production every year and is Thespian Troupe #2314 in the National Honor Thespian Society. Many notable artists are alumni of Chatsworth High School's Drama Department, including Val Kilmer, Mare Winningham and Kevin Spacey. Spacey co-produced the 2011 documentary Shakspeare High, which features Chatsworth's Drama Department.

The film program participates in multiple youth film festivals, some including but not limited to, Mitchell Englander's Making Movies that Matter Festival, CSPAN's Student Cam annual national video documentary competition, and Directing Change's festival. In 2020, three students from the Chatsworth film Program won an honorable mention award in the Directing Change's Festival under the Suicide Prevention Category. The program was run by David Massey, an academy award-nominated filmmaker, from 1994-2019, retiring in his 25th year as a teacher.

In 2009, the Track and Field Organization decided to create a new award named after an athlete "Nolan Blake" who brought incredible inspirational and motivation to the program that will live on forever. Prior to this, it was called the "Most Inspirational Award", but starting in 2009 it was renamed to the "Nolan Blake Award" to honor his accomplishments and the award is still being given out under the new name as of today. This would also go down in history as being the first ever award named after someone who attended Chatsworth High School.
