Chanhassen High School (CNS) is a public high school located in Chanhassen, Minnesota, a southwestern suburb of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. CNS is a 9th-12th grade school.[1] 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 what is seen as 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 of this, voters approved a referendum in 2006 to provide funding for a new high school. This vote was very close, a matter of 2% of the population. Opponents of the bond referendum claimed the school district did not provide support that it looked into other ideas for the district beyond building a new high school and the district did not take into consideration other options they may have had (utilizing buildings in other ways).[2]
Athletics
Chanhassen's athletic teams are known as the "Storm" and compete in the Lake Conference of the Minnesota State High School League.[3]
