| Welcome to the AHSCC! | |
| |  Community Information Portal |
Do you have a child, or grandchild (or know one) that will be in the 8th grade in
... 2011, or 2012?
These kids should be freshman or sophomores at the new local high school, because
the new Alpine/Blossom Valley area High School should open in that time frame.
(September, 2013 is the GUHSD projected/planned HS opening date)

Hard Work Pays Off For The Alpine High School
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
The 5 elected GUHSD Board Members voted (Governing Board Meeting of June 11th, '09) on numerous Agenda items that are significant to determining how we proceed on the new local Alpine and Blossom Valley serving; state-of-the-art and high tech high school. The # 1 site as identified in a so-far almost 3 year review process was recommended to the GUHSD Board by the GUHSD STAFF for them to approve. This number one EIR site is identified as site “J”, but is more commonly known as the Lazy “A” Ranch, located on Alpine Blvd., just East of the Albertsons Grocery Store. The GUHSD Governing Board voted UNANIMOUSLY and approved the new 12th; GUHSD High School's site to be the Lazy "A" Ranch Property in the Alpine community. | This 5-0 favorable and unanimous vote of the GUHSD Governing
Board will help speed our new HS Site on through the State of
California approval process! Yet ahead are
more challenges and hurdles, but this was a pivotal and monumental
accomplishment just achieved. We should be grateful to, and respectful of, the
GUHSD Governing Board for working through their differences and coming together
to achieve this successful result. This Governing Board decision to choose the consensus “all around best choice” for this new high school by unanimous vote, is a huge accomplishment. As well as their decision last year to put Prop U on the ballot enabling the modernization of every GUHSD high school! We have a very committed core group of education advocates within our East County, and especially Alpine! The active members (and all supporters) of the Alpine High School Citizens’ Committee | | (the AHSCC) has worked at a blistering pace these last few
weeks, and months, and for that matter… for the full decade since 1998 when the
AHSCC 1st officially organized itself.
Let's keep up the good work, after a reflection on the past; Thank you Alpine, and Blossom Valley, the APG, the CBOC, the Viejas and Sycuan Bands of the Kumeyaay Nation, the AHSCC, and all the others not mentioned who supported this effort. Let’s now continue and prepare to move on to the “Final Stages”, as this marathon effort moves forward and faces more hurdles before the opening of this high school can be celebrated. Our success comes with dedication and persistence, and we persisted… time and time again. Thanks go out to you all… for working, helping, and contributing to this sustained effort! |

So it is with my sincerest gratitude and respect that I'm thanking you!

 Have you donated to our ongoing work, studied the "Planners" above, and have you voted the *Opinion Polls? Please help us by doing the poll and reading the planning guide if you haven't... thank you for your support!The Alpine High School Citizens Committee (AHSCC) has been diligently looking out for Alpine’s interests as it has been working with the Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD) over the past 10 years since being founded. We're a voice of reason, respected & listened to by GUHSD staff, and Robert Collins, Superintendent. It was on November 4th, 2008 that the Grossmont Union High School District, with the help of the AHSCC, passed Proposition U. This bond will complete what the 2004 Prop H could not finish, including the construction of a new GUHSD high school in the Alpine and Blossom Valley area. Our AHSCC Working Sub-Committees must be representative and diverse. We invite all to help follow our new high school’s site acquisition, and plan the design, financial oversight, and curriculum & career technical education programs. | | GUHSD 55% Passes Prop 39 Bonds; ------- $274 Million Prop H; 62% Yes Mar '04 ------- $417 Million Prop U; 56.7% Yes Nov '08 | ||
