Westwood Elementary is the first school to be completed under the Building For Success program. The look and functionality of the buildings and classrooms, including expanded parking and outdoor play and recreation areas, have received rave reviews from parents, students, staff and the Westwood community. A new multipurpose building with food service and lunch shelter, a larger and modernized library, new and upgraded classrooms, and modern technology complete the work promised in the Proposition U Bond Initiative.
The new music building at Mt. Carmel High School was described on national television during the Band’s performance at the 2005 Rose Bowl Parade. Mt. Carmel’s buildings H and K, with new windows and 15 enlarged and modernized classrooms, have also been completed. Two new self-contained food kiosks provide meals while the modern and enlarged kitchen facility nears completion. Mt. Carmel Phase III construction was started on time in February, and includes work in 3 classroom buildings, the library, and the removal of the “Juniper Jungle” near the entrance, which will be replaced by a beautiful landscape.
The students and staff at Midland Elementary School eagerly awaited the March 22, 2006 opening date. This new school on the “old site” is a cornerstone of the Old Poway development and reflects community involvement in the design process. A public dedication ceremony will be held on April 7 at 11:00 a.m..
Twin Peaks Middle School received upgrades to the electrical infrastructure during the winter break and modernization work was started on 24 classrooms.
Tierra Bonita Elementary School construction work has been awarded and started in April 2006.
Poway High School’s new 22 classroom, 80,000 square foot, 2-story academic building is well underway and moving toward the Summer 2006 completion date. This new campus addition also features a grand Titan Plaza entrance between the new multipurpose and choir facilities.
