He attended Lincoln High School in Dallas, and was always very academically inclined. While playing for Lincoln High Basketball team, Chris Bosh began to capture the attention of College basketball recruiters. College interest in Chris was hightened when he led his team to the number one ranking team in the country and the USA Today National Championship with a perfect 40–0 season.
