 Attempts to site the school more centrally within the district near US 9W failed when opposition from a local community activist led to the defeat of a bond issue that would have funded the building.In 1999, voters approved $13 million for the current building (the state picked up the remainder).The current building by CannonDesign, completed in 2003 at a cost of $44.6 million, is the newest high school in Orange County.
