Chapman High School is a high school located in Inman, South Carolina, United States. The current facility opened in 2006, leaving the previous building for its main influx institution, Mabry Junior High, to expand. The current principal is Dr. Andrew McMillan.
Chapman is the successor to Inman High School as it was outgrown. The school's mascot is a panther, modified from the "purple treadway" used in the early years of the school's establishment in 1954.
