Chanhassen High School (CNHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Chanhassen, Minnesota, United States, a southwestern suburb of Minneapolis. Construction of the school was approved by voters in 2006 in response to rapidly growing enrollment in Carver County and overcrowding at Chaska High School, the district's other high school.

History

As a result of steady population increases in Carver County, Chaska High School's enrollment surpassed its building's designed capacity, with future growth in the school district expected. As a result, voters approved a referendum in 2006 to provide funding for a new high school. The vote was very close, a matter of 2% of the population. Opponents of the bond referendum claimed the school district had not looked into other ideas for the district beyond building a new high school and that the district did not take into consideration other options they may have had (using current buildings). During its inaugural year the school did not have a senior class.

Academics

In the years the school has been open, Chanhassen students have excelled in academics, ranking in the top 3% of high schools nationwide. Chanhassen offers 25 different Advanced Placement courses and in 2015 had a Challenge Index of 2.570, which means that more than two AP exams were taken for every member of the most recent graduating class.

The administration at Chanhassen aims to provide personalized learning, a unique approach to educating, remaining small yet continuing to offer college preparatory courses and a comprehensive curriculum. Students choose electives from four areas of Interest designed to offer depth in an area of particular relevant for emerging passions and interests.

These areas of interest include:

  • Arts and Communication
  • Global Studies
  • Health & Social Sciences
  • STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering & Math

Within each area, students select a Program of Study to deepen and focus learning in specific paths.

Athletics

Chanhassen athletic teams competed in the Lake Conference of the Minnesota State High School League for their first year as a school. They joined the Missota Conference in 2010–2011. As of the 2020-2021 school year, Chanhassen High School competes in the Metro West Conference. In 2015 the Chanhassen baseball team finished the season with a 26-4 record and the Class 3AAA MSHSL State Championship. The Chanhassen football team won the 2023 state championship, the school's first state title. They won in overtime against Saint Thomas Academy on a 4th down drive. The Chanhassen hockey team made it to the state title game, losing to Edina 2-1

The ALP is designed to help students who are in need of a different learning environment find success. Students enrolled in the ALP benefit from smaller classes and additional support structures so that guided learning is more available to each individual.

Security

In 2013 the Eastern Carver County school district passed a referendum that put 1.8 million dollars towards renovating entryways for security, adding security cameras, creating key-less entries for employees, and installing electronic visitor systems in all District 112 schools.
