History
In the early 2000s, the Chino Hills area was growing at a very rapid rate. Nearby Ruben S. Ayala High School was nearing 4,000 students and voters approved Measure M, a bond initiative to relieve overcrowding and build a second high school in Chino Hills. The first graduating class finished in 2005.
In 2009, the CHHS Schools for Schools club, a nationwide organization that works with Invisible Children organized school dances, book drives, and mobilized students to donate more than $10,400 and 18,000 books to Anaka Secondary School. The funds went to a new laboratory and classroom block for CHHS' sister school in Uganda. Chino Hills students Jennifer Umberg and Jessica Witten were awarded trips to visit Gulu. In 2011, the club raised $25,400 and will send a student and the adviser Mr.Lanathoua to visit Uganda in the summer of 2012.
