About CSN High School South
College of Southern Nevada High School is a public CCSD high school operating on CSN’s East, South and West campuses. This profile covers the South campus in Henderson.
Students take a mix of high school and college coursework while working toward graduation and college credit. The setting is smaller and more independent than a traditional comprehensive high school.
The program model is shared across the three campuses, but addresses, phone numbers and commute needs differ. Confirm current diploma, college-credit, tuition and Jumpstart rules with CSNHS.

How families get in
Admission is through the College of Southern Nevada High School application. The school is not assigned by address, and this process is separate from both a regular CSN college application and the CCSD magnet lottery.
- The program is designed for incoming 11th- and 12th-grade students who are on track for graduation.
- Apply through the official CSNHS application linked from the school website.
- Review factors may include academic record, course rigor, attendance and behavior, test information and the student statement.
- Confirm required uploads, including whether transcripts, attendance records, a personal statement or IEP/504 documents apply.
- Review current campus-choice, waitlist and late-application rules before applying.
Application reminders
- Admission is not guaranteed.
- There is no address zone that automatically places a student here.
- Use the official CSNHS website for current dates and requirements.
Application rules, review criteria and required documents can change. Confirm the live process with CSNHS.
Who it tends to fit
A good match when
- A student entering 11th or 12th grade wants dual enrollment on a college campus.
- The family is comfortable with a small setting and a more independent daily schedule.
- The student is motivated to earn college credit while completing high school requirements.
Think twice when
- The student wants a traditional four-year, grades 9–12 campus.
- The family needs a guaranteed neighborhood seat without an application review.
- The student wants on-site NIAA athletics or the broad elective and CTE menu of a large comprehensive high school.
CSN High School South is a junior- and senior-year early-college program, not a four-year magnet CTA.
