[edit] History
The school was known as Doylestown High School after the Doylestown and Chippewa Township districts merged in 1917, until 1971 when the new high school was built. [1] The name change reflected the trend that most of the district's residents lived within Chippewa Township and not within Doylestown's limits. This is also when they shortened their nickname to the "Chipps", as they felt it was redundant to call themselves the "Chippewa Chipps".[1] Despite this, many locals still refer to the school as "Doylestown High."
Chippewa's football rivalry with the Rittman High School Indians is the longest-running uninterrupted rivalry in Wayne County, having met every year since 1923.[1] Their football rivalry with Dalton High School Bulldogs has also been played every year since 1925 with the exception of three years in the 1940s when Dalton didn't field a team.[1]
