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