Champlin Park High School is a four-year public high school located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

The school's name, Champlin Park, comes from the combination of bordering cities Brooklyn Park and Champlin. The school is on the south side of 109th Avenue North, the border between the two cities, and is located in Brooklyn Park, even though addresses on both sides of that street use the Champlin zip code of 55316.

Champlin Park's first graduating class was in 1993. CPHS is the third largest high school in the state with a student population of 2975.

Champlin Park serves the cities of Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Dayton. In the spring of 2006, Champlin Park was certified to teach the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

The school principal is Michael George.

In 2012, 2013 and 2014, Champlin Park High School received recognition as a "Newsweek Top School," a distinction recognizing the top high schools across the country.

The school currently runs on a five period, trimester curriculum.
