As the only high school in the Coronado Unified School District, Coronado High School (CHS) plays a pivotal role in educating local students.
CHS sits in the center of Coronado Island in close proximity to the local elementary and middle school. With just over 1,200 students across three grades, the school is decidedly mid-size but still feels intimate thanks to a tight-knight and generous community. In addition to state-of-the-art classrooms, the school offers a football field and aquatics complex and is positioned next to the Coronado Public Library, tennis courts and Spreckels Park.
With over 20 AP and 5 Honors courses offered, there’s no shortage of challenging coursework for students. For those more arts-minded, Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a school-within-a-school on the campus of CHS. Students who choose to enroll can choose to major in disciplines ranging from instrumental music to visual arts or digital media.
With rich offerings and an involved local community, CHS is a truly attractive pick for Coronado’s young learners.
