Chandler High School has a long history of expansion to accommodate the area’s population growth.  The school building has undergone several construction developments, most notably the original development in 1922, the frame and architecture of which still stands today.  Subsequently, Chandler High School was used as a promotional tool to attract out of state residents who were interested in settling in Arizona and providing their children with superior education.  According to Images of America Chandler, the Chandler High School building “was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.”  Not only does Chandler High School have a long history of providing superior education and adapting to the needs of local residents, Chandler High is home to notable alumni.  Among the graduating alumni:  several NFL players, major league baseball players, WNBA players, actors, authors and community business leaders, including Eddie Basha, Jr.
