In January of 2021, students successfully petitioned to start a Chess Club at Gorham High School. Meeting after school to play on scavenged sets, the intrepid founding members soon built a base of dedicated members. In the fall of 2022 the Chess Club won a GEF grant to purchase 20 tournament-style sets and the competition and fun took on a whole new level. Five GHS seniors are involved with Chess Club.
