It is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district. Due to rapid population growth in the surrounding area, CHS was 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]
