Sage Creek High School. The baton has been passed from the voters to the design team to the construction crew to 300 enthusiastic students. Like parents of a newborn, Carlsbad Unified couldn't be prouder.
Set to welcome its first class on Aug. 28, Sage Creek High School sprawls across the hillside at the top of Cannon Road and College Boulevard. Its 57 acres include a gymnasium, 55 state-of-the-art classrooms, an athletic stadium and track, tennis courts, a beautiful library and inviting outdoor spaces surrounded by native landscaping.
The community's newest high school will become a story of its students, the Bobcats. Students have selected electives from an impressive list, offering everything from Mandarin, to drama/theater, to architectural design.
They are forming clubs and trying out for 18 different sport teams, including field hockey. The lab supplies are out of boxes and in the hands of eager learners, and clean uniforms are being sported by the athletes flying around on fields and courts.
These enthusiastic freshmen, along with their talented teachers, support staff and administration, are busy creating the community of learners that will become the true legacy of Sage Creek High School.
The school will have a STEM focus, which means that its Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programs will prepare students for some of the most promising careers. A biomedical program will start this year, followed by an engineering program in 2014-15. The school also will develop mentorships and internship with the local business community to guide our young people in becoming tomorrow's entrepreneurs and innovators.
This will be a year of firsts: First pep rally, first school play, first engineering project. What will Bobcats be known for? Our students will play a vital role in determining what these "firsts" will look like and what traditions will be developed for the thousands of Bobcats to follow.
Carlsbad Unified School District is excited to offer two comprehensive high schools in which students can pursue their educational dreams. What decision this year will draw students to Sage Creek in the future? Those answers have yet to unfold, but the feeling of genuine excitement is palpable on campus. We are all looking forward to the story of Sage Creek High School.
