How Saving Sierra High plans to enhance the learning experience through passing a bond.

Facility Upgrades

The Facilities Master Plan Needs Assessment is a vital step in ensuring
that the Sierra High School/Sierra Alternative High School facilities
are equipped to meet the evolving needs of students and educators.
This comprehensive plan seeks to evaluate the conditions, capacities,
and functionalities of school facilities, with the overarching goal of
providing a healthy, safe, and conducive environment for learning.

Measure U – in detail

Measure U: Measure U will be on the November, 2024 ballot which asks voters to approve a school bond for Sierra High School and Alternative Education facilities. This video is an in-depth look at the bond itself.

Measure U Video

We are not located in the city like most schools, But merely just a small mountain school district, which tends to, or can be easily forgotten about. So although a lot may go unnoticed, the need is very much there to help preserve, and or restore the history and future of the school.
