Can there be multiple highschools at once?

I've googled this plenty of times, but all discussions are years old, and I'm not sure if they're relevant anymore. People said there's no option to build a highschool on a different lot, however, I have the option, and I believe I can do so while Copperdale is running, but I'm unsure. Does anyone know? Has anyone tested it? If so, is there any way to choose which school a sim goes to?
