 | Viejas Creek is located within "Valle de las Viejas". We know that in 1853, barley & grain from "Valle de las Viejas" (Viejas Valley), was taken via oxen through "Mesa de Arroz" (now Alpine), on through to the area of "San Jorge" (Spring Valley) to "Old Town". The Viejas Valley had farming, ranching, bee keeping, stage & mail routes. |

| Several folks representing the GUHSD Design Team traveled to Seattle, WA on November 4th to tour several state-of-the-art school designs (including 3 of your own AHSCC members). We spent three total days touring several "small learning community" schools to gather ideas, and we also visited a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation facility. The Architects and GUHSD Facility Planner on our Alpine HS were all present on our Seattle area schools tour. See below for more... |

| The design team for the new 12th GUHSD Alpine High School has been selected. The design work is being handled by a partnership of firms unanimously approved by the Governing Board. IBI Group (Irvine, CA) and Sprotte-Watson (Vista, CA) was awarded the contract. IBI Group has an office in San Diego, in addition to the larger Irvine office. The Corporate office is in Canada, and they have other international locations. The website of IBI Group reveals that the Architects in this office were all part of the smaller firm named Thomas Blurock Architects. Thomas Blurock designed Alpines' Joan McQueen Middle School and Boulder Oaks Elementary, afterward was integrated into IBI Group in 2006. The practice of Thomas Blurock Architects continues as the California educational facilities unit of IBI Group, and includes all the former principals of the predecessor firm. Youmight wonder about their resume and experience for designing high schools, well they’ve done them, and won several architectural design awards. Sprotte-Watson is home grown with the one local Vista office, and also has several listed academic institutions in their portfolio. The Civil Engineer that is part of the team is Snipes Dye from La Mesa. They will do most of the utilities and sitedesign work. They have extensive East County experience. This School will be built on 92 total acres; East of the Albertsons Center at around 3148 Alpine Boulevard. There is reported to be 47.8 net usable acres. Tentatively there is planned to be 23.8 acres for physical education and sports facilities, 10.4 acres for education buildings and grounds, and 13.6acres for parking and roads. Mr. Robert Collins, Previous GUHSD Superintendent, had asked the Alpine HighSchool Citizens Committee, and its Sub-Committees, to solicit as many interested local community members as possible to make sure that this new Alpine High School delivers high standards for curriculum, with state-of-the-art facilities, to ensure that it offers academic excellence, cultural diversity, and satisfies our communities needs and desires. These community members compiled and presented the +1] document linked at the near top of this web page. ------------------ |

 The Alpine High School Citizens Committee (AHSCC)is a self-funded (donations) citizen volunteer group that has been diligently looking out for Alpine’s interests as it has beenworking with the Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD) over thepast 10 years since being founded. We're a voice of reason, respected & listened to by the GUHSD staff, and 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. | | GUHSD 55% Passes Prop 39 Bonds; ------- $274 Million Prop H; 62% Yes Mar '04 ------- $417 Million Prop U; 56.7% Yes Nov '08 | ||
