San Diego High School Hits Construction Milestone
Part of a whole-site modernization project at Mira Mesa High School in San Diego, Calif., recently reached a construction milestone. The final steel beam of the new classroom and student services facility was put into place, completing the building’s structural framework. The facility is part of the modernization project’s second phase and will serve as the main entryway to the campus, according to a news release.
“Academics are paramount at Mira Mesa High School, and this new classroom building will reflect the dedication and commitment our students and staff make every day,” said Principal Jeff Sabins. “We are ecstatic to see how the new building and our new classrooms will enhance our students' experience.”
The project also includes renovating the existing student services facility into new classroom space, renovating aging classrooms and common areas, construction of a new parking lot; building a shaded lunch court, and upgrading campus security.
“Seeing this framework today reminds me of our goal of creating a stable and joyful environment for students to succeed,” said Acting Superintendent Dr. Fabi Bagula. “It’s an honor to see the smiles on these students, knowing they will soon have a modern building to call home.”
The project is bond-funded, and the second phase of construction is scheduled for completion in summer 2027, the news release reports.
