CVU was established in 1964 to serve the Chittenden County towns outside of Burlington. It is currently the largest high school by enrollment in the state of Vermont.

## Infrastructure

The CVU property contains a baseball field, a softball field, a field hockey field, a football field, a track, and three soccer fields. During the spring, the field hockey and soccer fields are used for lacrosse. CVU added a goat farm onto its campus in the spring of 2017.

## Athletics

The school mascot is the Redhawk, having changed its name from Crusaders in 2006 because many had found the former name to be offensive. The school's athletic colors are red and white.
CVU competes in Division 1 brackets for all sports. Its chief athletic rivals are nearby South Burlington High School, Essex High School, and Mount Mansfield Union High School.
The CVU Redhawks have met the Rice Memorial Green Knights in the boys basketball state semi-finals for two consecutive years.
In 2022, CVU finished as the second seeded team in the Vermont division 1 boys basketball season, and had two players be named to the Free Press metro division first and second team.
