Concord High School is a high school in Concord, New Hampshire in the United States.

[edit] History

Concord's first public high school was established in 1846. The original building was the building on the corner of State and School Streets. A new school house was built in 1862, which stood until 1888, when it burned down on account of a fire started by a chemistry experiment. The school was rebuilt and it reopened in 1890. In 1904, yet another Concord High School was built on Spring Street in the building which is now Kimball School. The current high school was built in 1927 on Warren Street, with a new wing added in 1996.

[edit] The Current School

Some of the features that Concord High currently has are a new media center, student center (cafeteria), performing arts area, and four commons areas, each with its own administrative and student community where student lockers are located. Concord Community TV, the local access station for Concord, NH, is currently located in Concord High. As of 2007, there are about 2000 students currently attending.

CHS's current principal is Eugene Connolly.
