Chesterfield High School is a public high school in Chesterfield, South Carolina, United States, serving students from ninth through twelfth grades for the towns of Chesterfield, Mt. Croghan and Ruby. Many students also attend from other attendance areas, namely Cheraw, Pageland and even Anson County, NC, due to quality of the Chesterfield-Ruby schools. The current Chesterfield High School opened in 1969 following the consolidation of the original Chesterfield High School (which served white students), Gary High School (which served African-Americans students), and Ruby High School.
