Joseph Gregori High School is a planned high school in Modesto, California, United States. When it opens in fall 2010,^[2] it will be the eighth comprehensive high school in Modesto City Schools.^[3]

[edit] History

Planning for this school started in the early 1990s, following a lengthy history within the district of the need for another campus to accommodate students in the Salida area and northwest Modesto, relieving overcrowding at Modesto and Davis High School.^[4] In 2001, Modesto City Schools passed a high school bond called Measure T that provided $65 million for the construction of two high schools.^[5]

The school is named for Joseph Gregori^[6], who served as a principal, teacher, and coach in the Modesto City Schools for 28 years before his death in 1998 at age 50.^[7]

The school is scheduled to open in the fall of 2010 with 9th and 10th grade students. It is designed for a capacity of 2,500 students and projected to open with 1,800–1,950 students. The school's first principal will be Jeff Albritton, who has served as principal at Davis High School in Modesto.^[4]

[edit] Campus

The 80-acre (32 ha) campus sits on land formerly used as almond and walnut orchards. Modesto City School District purchased the property from the family of Dick and Jennie Van Konynenburg. The family had owned the property since 1932.

Some adjacent property owners^[who?] criticized the Modesto City School District for their use of eminent domain to purchase easements, rights of way and land in order to widen Stoddard Road.

The school's 14 buildings were designed by Fresno-based firm Darden Architects.
