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).

In the years the school has been open, Chanhassen students have excelled in academics, ranking in the top 3% of high schools nationwide.

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.

- Health & Social Sciences
- STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering & Math

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.
