Chatham Hall is an all-girls college-preparatory boarding school located in Chatham, Virginia, United States. Graduating classes are fewer than forty students each year. The school was founded as Chatham Episcopal Institute in 1894, Chatham Hall. The athletics teams play in the Blue Ridge Conference. Chatham Hall is accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS) and is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).
The Honor Code is a vital tradition at Chatham Hall and is strictly followed. It states "I will not lie. I will not cheat. I will not steal. I will report all infractions of honor." Any honor infraction will result in a "council case" held by the student council, a group of 12 seniors elected by the students and faculty.
The lantern ceremony and ring ceremony are held by the junior and senior classes the night before graduation when the junior class members officially receives their class rings and assume leadership of the school from seniors. Each senior girl seals the back of her junior ring-sister's ring with melted wax from her lantern. Since the inception of Chatham Hall, the class ring has not changed; it is a simple white or yellow gold band with the school's crest engraved into an oval red sardonyx stone.
See the fleet of cruising cars
go past the stations and the bars.
Never stop to get out
in case they choose to cruise about.
Well, I tell you, that boy,
he stopped up at the station.
He must be on a mission of passion
Couldn't make out whether he was from
Salford or...ah... Manchester.
And this London visitor had this to say:
";Cheater";
Cheetham Hill.
Only way you stop is for passion at the station.
Why you cruising? To be unfaithful.
You want to settle up, you want to settle down.
And some man really hurt you.
He isn't around in Cheetham.
You cheated.
Well I tell you,
That boy, he stopped up at the station.
He must be on a mission of passion.
Cheater.
Cheetham Hill.
Where you going, boy? Are you cheatin'?
Is that why you come from Cheetham Hill?
When you stopped up at the station
was it an excuse to get away from your wife for the evening?
Couldn't make out whether he was from
(Max or Mary)
Salford or...ah...Manchester
(Chutney ferret)
And this London visitor had this to say
";Cheater";
Cheetham.

(customised
intentional
there's no need to go berserk
you don't scratch my nice blue Merc
I won't need to go berserk
if you don't scratch my nice green Merc)
And the boy stopped up
At the passion wagon
We couldn't make out where he was from
Salford or Manchester
And this London visitor had this to say
