History[edit]
In 2018, about $26 million dollars was approved by the School Facilities Board to construct a second high school in the Maricopa Unified School District. The school district noticed a growing student population and the need for additional classroom space. Ground was broken on May 7, 2021. The school will be built in three phases. The first phase consists of classroom space that can be scaled up as the student population grows.[2] It also includes a gymnasium and cafeteria. A third building houses the administrative offices.[3] A soft opening was held on May 24, 2022.[4] On the same day, ground was broken for phase 2,[5] which includes sporting facilities, a building for a library, counseling offices, and a performance stage. Future plans will include additional classrooms, an arts complex, and a career and technical education building.[6]
