Cibola High School (CHS) is a public Senior high school located on the West Side of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district. Due to rapid population growth in the surrounding area, CHS was the largest high school in New Mexico by 2006[2] and was severely overcrowded, with over 3,200 students and 62 portable classrooms.[3] This congestion was reduced in 2007 with the opening of nearby Volcano Vista High School.[4] In 2008, CHS underwent a massive remodel and expansion of the main building.[5] The current enrollment stands at 2,197.[1]
