Santa Cruz High was founded in 1922 & serves 1100 students.
In 2016, after almost 20 years without a Bond investment, the school needed help. Teachers, students, staff, parents & neighbors prioritized the need for a replaced utility infrastructure, new roofs, new & refurbished athletic spaces, general modernizations and heating/ventilation upgrades.
The project further included foundational imrpovements, fencing replacements, a a new softball scoreboard, a better textbook storage solution, imrpoved arts classrooms & general refurbishments.
THE WORK.
Remodeled: New Life for our Gym
To give our students a modern & ready place to play & compete, we remodeled & refurbished our gym & athletic building tomake our home court a source of pride for the school.
Replaced: Aging Utility Infrastructure
To replace our aging (in some spots a century old) power, data, water & sewage infrastructure, we installed a modernized & future-ready grid that will make Santa Cruz High in-step today and ready for tomorrow.
Modernization: Brain & Braun
To elevate instruction & student life, we have built modern facilities to allow better access to books and a state-of-the-art outdoor gym, and bringing our historic school in-step with its future.
MODERNIZATION.
At every school site, you'll see "Modernization" as a banner item. While it varies by site, this normally means:
New Network & Technological Infrastructure
New Efficient & Welcoming Lighting
Upgraded Ventilation & HVAC Systems
Interior Re-design & Beautification
Insulating Window Shades
New Environmentally Conscious Flooring
New Interactive Presentation Screens & Teaching Tools
New Sliding Whiteboards
Window Films to Boost Insulation & HVAC efficiency (did you know studies show learning ability plummets in rooms over 75 degrees?)
New Cabinetry & Storage Solutions
