Cibola High School (CHS) is a public Senior high school located in northwest Albuquerque, New Mexico in the Albuquerque Public Schools District. Due to rapid population growth in the surrounding area, Cibola was the largest high school in New Mexico as of 2006 and was considered overcrowded with over 3,200 students and 62 portable classrooms. School enrollment was reduced in 2007 with the opening of nearby Volcano Vista High School. In 2008, CHS underwent a massive remodel and expansion of the main building. The current enrollment stands at 2,197.
