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]
