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)
No personal benefit comes to AHSCC members, children and future generations will benefit. Donate time or funds... help our objective; an exemplary high school.
Help the GUHSD; join ourCurriculum Sub-Committee; thus ensure our H.S. has high standards for academic excellence, and cultural diversity, and also is "Architecturally" up to our standard of excellence, and is beautiful as well!
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.
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!
Below note of
"Thanks"... was e-mailed on behalf of the AHSCC to the GUHSD Board and
Superintendent Collins the morning after this unanimous vote in favor
of our new local high school. >>

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.
Your contribution will help to ensure that the GUHSD has the best facility in the State of California for educating all our area students attending the GUHSD (Here in Alpine) starting in 2012, or at the latest in 2013!
