Long known as "the pride of the Westside," Groves High School has a rich community tradition that dates back to its founding in 1958. Established to serve the young people and families of West Chatham County, the school is named for Robert W. Groves, a prominent business and civic leader in the county. Besides his roles in business, commerce, and the community, Groves was concerned with the youth of the area and their educational needs. To that end, he was an avid supporter, both financially and morally, for many programs at the school.

Since its inception, Groves High School's has fostered strong bonds with the community and its residents. For decades, generations of Chatham County residents have been proud to send their children to this institution. The parents and even grandparents of many Groves students also attended Groves. Many faculty members are also alumni.

As of August 13, 2020, the school is being demolished to make way for a new institution accommodating grades K-12.^[2]
