Chilton High School is a public high school which is located in Calumet County, Wisconsin on the south end of the city of Chilton near U.S. Route 151.

Originally built on School Court in 1934,[3] the old building which was in need of more than just a few repairs was destroyed and replaced by a park. The current building was built on the same plot of land as the Elementary and Middle school are built on, and then was opened in September 2003.[4]

Sports

Chilton's 1969 football team went undefeated.[5] The team included future NFL hall of fame inductee Dave Casper.[5] It outscored their opponents 363-0 in eight games, [5] had 98-49 first down advantage, rushed 1810 yards to 116 for their opponents, outpassed their opponents 702 - 203, with a total offense of 2512 yards versus 399.[6] Their lowest margin of victory was 7-0 and second lowest margin was 33-0.[6] The small-town team was ranked eighth in the state behind the largest schools in the state; there was no playoff system at the time.[5]

In the 1985-85 basketball season, Chilton's team won the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Class B Boys' championship.[7] Team player Todd Eisner was nominated as a McDonalds All American and later played at Creighton University.[8][9] Chilton beat Whitnall and Prairie du Chien to win the title.[9]

Chilton's Girls' basketball team won the Division 3 state title in 1991-92.[10] Tracy Winkler was named to the first team of the Associated Press (AP) all-state team and AP named coach Ray Mlada as the state's coach of the year.[10]
