Named for the Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville, which was fought just west of the school location, Chancellor High School also has the honor of being a Plank Owner of the USS Chancellorsville. The name Chancellor derives from the family of George Chancellor who operated the Chancellorsville Inn, a Union staging point and center of combat during the Battle of Chancellorsville.
