The high school occupies a prominent location in downtown Chandler at the northwest corner of Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, the city's two principal thoroughfares. Originally, the campus covered approximately 10 acres but has grown continually over the last several decades to now encompass over 60 acres. This nomination addresses the two buildings that represent the historic core of the modern campus. The earliest building on the campus, known as "Old Main," was constructed between 1921 and 1922 and is a two-story, stuccoed brick building designed in the Classical Revival Style. The building has an E-shaped plan, with an auditorium originally at the center and classroom wings at either end. The roof, which is a combination of hip and gable forms, is sheathed with clay tile; the foundation is concrete. Characteristic of the Classical Revival Style, the building is arranged symmetrically, with the fa9ade highlighted by a large, projecting portico supported by six massive columns with Ionic capitals. Terra cotta ornamentation is present at the frieze and beneath the cornice of the main roof. The windows, which were originally 8-light wood casements with transoms, are now fixed metal sashes generally intended to replicate the original units. In 1960, an additional classroom wing was constructed at the north end of the building, which generally replicates the design of the two original wings. A gymnasium, also constructed of stuccoed brick and designed in the Classical Revival Style, is located southwest
