Poway and Mt. Carmel High Schools are the first and largest schools to undergo various renovations, modernizations, and additions because of Proposition U funding.

The work is being accomplished in three phases, with approximate final completion in Fall 2007.  These phases are structured to ensure that priority work listed in the Proposition U list of facility improvements is accomplished first.  The softball field work in Phase I is complete and  was the preparatory work for Phase II construction of the new 80,000 sq.ft. two-story classroom addition to replace existing re-locatable classrooms.

Poway High School was built in 1962 and has a current enrollment of 2944 students. The principal is Scott Fisher. The school features a performing arts center, media center, band, choir, and theatre rooms, and a wrestling center.

Projects at Poway include:

• Utility upgrade/efficiency improvements
• Renovate/upgrade restrooms as needed
• Expand/renovate music/drama spaces
• Expand/renovate library
• Renovate/expand staff work area
• Modernize classrooms, such as lighting, power/data, flooring, marker boards

Site Improvements

The initial phase of work on the Poway High School was site improvements which included construction of the Varsity Softball Field and upgrades to the JV Baseball Field.  This work was necessary to provide a site for field sports when the upper field near Titan Way is used as a construction staging site to support the new two-story building additions
