The Dedication for the Fontana Adult School and the Groundbreaking for the new Citrus Continuation High School will be held in a special joint ceremony on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 2 pm.  School officials and members of the Board of Education will gather at the Fontana Adult School to celebrate the beginning of one and the completion of another of FUSD’s construction projects.

The new Fontana Adult School was previously home to Jurupa Hills Elementary School and, more recently, Jurupa Hills Middle School.  After it was no longer needed as a sixth grade-only school, Architecture 4 Education designed modifications to the buildings and grounds in order to accommodate its new purpose.  The brand new Fontana Adult School opened for business last month.

If you look directly over the back fence of Fontana Adult School, you will see the future home of Citrus Continuation High School which is being built on 18.5 acres located on the corner of Santa Ana and Cypress.  Designed by NTD Architecture, the new 35 classroom facility will have the capacity to house 909 students.  The construction is estimated to cost between $24-26 million and is funded through Measure C.  Site preparation work is currently under way and construction will begin shortly under the supervision of Paul C. Miller Construction.  The staff of Citrus High School is very excited as they’ve been waiting a long time for the new campus - over twenty years, in fact.  Their current facility opened back in 1988 as a "temporary school."  The new site is scheduled to open in the 2011-12 school year.

Due to the two sites' close proximity, the joint ceremony will take place on the Fontana Adult School located at 10755 Oleander Avenue in Fontana.
