American Legion Post 48

Chesnee High School Army Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps

Post 48's relationship with CHS JROTC began in November, 2010 when they were invited to a Post 48 meeting. Hamburgers and hot dogs were served. This began a tradition that has been followed in most years since.
To see photographs of these meetings, click on the year.

In 2013, Post 48 began sponsoring awards for Military Excellence and Scholastic Excellence.

In 2013, School District 2 owned a property on North Alabama Avenue that was the former Chesnee Elementary School. The Army JROTC were permitted to set up and use an air rifle range and have air rifle shoots. This provided an experience for these students about gun handling, care, maintenance, and shooting (safely).  You can get a view of that range HERE.
When School District 2 sold that property, Chesnee High School did not have space available at that time to move the range to the campus. Post 48 volunteered to permit the students to use the Post building as a range on a temporary basis. You can get a view of that range HERE.
When Chesnee High School made room for them, the range moved to the high school.
