The School District of the Chathams is a regional public school district serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade from Chatham Borough and Chatham Township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States.
As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's six schools had an enrollment of 3,952 students and 268 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.75.[1]
Elections were held in both municipalities in November 1986 to consider joining the two towns' at the time disparate school systems into a regional district. This proposal was supported by the voters and since then, the two municipalities have shared a regionalized school district.[3]
Lafayette Avenue School and The Chatham High School are joined together.

"The high schools had to scramble to offer the Advanced Placement classes and electives that the new era required. Kids from one school would go to the other for particular classes, as if it were an extension of the same campus. By 1986, after a contentious vote in both towns, the two districts merged."
