Chaparral High School is a public high school located in Parker, Colorado, United States. It is a part of Douglas County School District RE-1.
The school is notable in Colorado for how it came to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) unit. Chaparral student Cody Schmidt died in 2003 after his heart stopped while in gym class, spurring his parents to raise funds to acquire AED units for other Douglas County schools.
Extracurricular Activities
Chaparral High School offers over thirty activity organizations, the majority of which are open to all interested students. Service organizations include Link Crew, a mentor program for incoming freshman; Interact; National Honor Society; Peer Counseling; and Student Government.

The band has appeared in the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
The school has hosted an annual jazz festival, the Chaparral High School High Plains Jazz Festival, since 1996.
Honor Societies
The National Art Honor Society (NAHS) was founded in 1978 to inspire and recognize scholarship and art in the development of creativity, character, service and leadership. NAHS strives to aid members in working toward the attainment of the highest standards in art areas, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community.
Every September 10th-12th grade students whom hold a GPA of a 3.0 or higher and have completed two or more art classes are formally invited to apply for membership.
