SENIOR LEGACY GIFT

Commemorating Chamblee High School is a proud tradition of the Senior Class. This year, with your help, we will continue our Senior Class Legacy by bestowing a gift to the school in honor of the Class of 2023. The Class of 2008 began our beautification projects with the commitment of making our school campus more welcoming, attractive, and informative. You can view a list of all the previous Senior legacy projects on the Blue & Gold website.  


The Class of 2023, along with The Blue & Gold Foundation, would like to purchase additional indoor coated entry mats for several doors into CHS. These mats are custom designed with our Bulldog logo and will say “Class of 2023” on them. You can follow this link to view them, or many of you may have seen the mats we have currently in place throughout the school.
