It is located in Chattooga County, in the northwest portion of the state, and enrolls 750 students.

Summerville High School was built across from J.R. "Dick" Dowdy Park.

Shortly after implementing the four-day school week, the Chattooga Board of Education approved plans for the construction of a new Chattooga High School building.

Construction began in 2013 with the site located adjacent to the original building.

In addition to the new school building, renovations were made to the Little Big Horn Stadium and construction is currently under way on a new softball field and football practice field.
