In 2011, Chaney High School was closed and changed into a vocal Performing Arts school as well as a STEM fields school as part of a restructure of area schools. However, in 2017, it was announced by Youngstown City School District CEO Krish Mohip that Chaney High School would be reconfigured into a traditional structure, as a part of the entire district being reconfigured into neighborhood schooling.

Sports

History

In its first incarnation, Chaney offered baseball, basketball, bowling, football, and track for boys as well as basketball, bowling, cheerleading, softball, volleyball, and track were sponsored for girls.

Although the football team never won a state title (their best finish was a loss in the Division-III state championship game in 1997), Chaney produced several college standouts and NFL athletes, such as former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL MVP Frank Sinkwich,[2] Jerry Olsavsky, Mike Zordich, Matt Cavanaugh, Anthony Floyd, Brad Smith and Keilen Dykes.

Chaney football also won more city titles than any other school prior to the 2006–07 school year when the Youngstown City Series dissolved.[3] The Chaney football team was on hiatus from 2011 until 2018.
