Chiawana's campus features its own athletic facilities, which include a lighted football/soccer field surfaced with FieldTurf, negating the need to use Edgar Brown Memorial Stadium on the other end of town. The school's gymnasium was used by both Chiawana and Pasco High School for the 2009–10 school year, as the main gymnasium at Pasco High had an unanticipated roof replacement.

The school's principal is John Wallwork.

Athletics

Chiawana competes in athletics in WIAA Class 4A in Yakima Valley District V, and are members of the Mid-Columbia Conference.

Chiawana, down 13 points with just under one minute remaining in the 4th quarter, scored 14 points in 55 seconds to secure the state title.[3]
