Santa Cruz High was opened in 1897, burned down in 1913, was rebuilt in 1915 & serves 1,100 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 a replaced utility infrastructure, new roofs, new & refurbished athletic spaces, general modernizations and heating/ventilation upgrades. We're well into the work of rejuvenating Santa Cruz High & it's all thanks to you.
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.
​
Measure A allowed us to map and replace infrastructure that hasn't been touched in decades!
Coming Soon:
New Classroom & Cafeteria Building
We're far from done with our work of repairing, rejuvenating & modernizing Santa Cruz High.
​
Underway is a remodel of a primary wing of classrooms on campus and an all new, modern cafeteria and kitchen!

Santa Cruz High Bond Site Committee
Bond work is informed by the local input of the Bond Site Committee, which is usually made up of families and staff. The Bond Site Committee meets regularly with the Bond Core Team who plans and undertakes work with the Architect & Contractor, and plans for work and strategic direction is presented to the Santa Cruz City Schools Board of Trustees for approval. The Bond Site Committee is a vital part of the process, discussing and reporting the needs and want of the school community.
