New High school named after superintendent

New additions are coming to the district soon due to the Chandler Unified School District opening two new schools for the 2015-2016 school year. The first is Dr. Camille Casteel High School, named after the district superintendent in office since 1996. To honor the superintendent’s work, the school’s mascot is the Casteel Colt.

The school will be located on the northeast corner of Power and Riggs Roads. At the new high school, grades 7-9 will be enrolled this upcoming school year and with each subsequent year another grade opening. Hence, by 2019, all grades 7-12 will be open for enrollment.

In addition to CCHS, a new elementary school will open on Chandler Heights Road, west of Power Road. A name has not been announced for the school; however, applications can be turned into CTA Freedom to enroll for the school in the upcoming school year. Both schools serve in relieving the growing population of students in the Chandler District.
