School Overview
Chesnut High is a continuation school located in Huron, California, operating under the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District. As a continuation program, the school is specifically designed to provide a flexible and supportive educational environment for students who may be at risk of not graduating or who require an alternative setting to meet their academic goals.
