Chinook High School is a public high school in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, operated by Lethbridge School District No. 51 that serves grades nine through twelve. Completed in 2010, it was the first public high school to open in the city in 50 years; Winston Churchill High School (1960) was the last.[4] It is also the only secondary school on the city's west side. Classes began on the afternoon of Monday, August 30, 2010, and a grand opening followed on September 17 at a final, on-budget construction cost of $45.3 million.[3][5]
The school was built at a 20 hectare site as part of a $94.3 million project which also included a West campus of Catholic Central High School for Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 4, a branch of the city's public library, and sports facilities.[5] The principal is Clark Bosch, formerly of Winston Churchill High School.[6][7] A high number of staff and athletic directors are formerly of Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, and like LCI, Chinook offers Advanced Placement courses and an Honours program for grade 9 students, in addition to an advisory program between students and teachers.[4]
The school features a 350-seat theatre, with similar amenities to the Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre in south Lethbridge, as well as a large gymnasium with arena style lighting.[6]
