Campus

The campus is quite smaller than the other Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District high schools. Unlike the others though, this is the first second story school built in Fairfield. This school includes 4 staircases leading up to the top classrooms and an elevator for the handicapped.

In the year 2005-2006, the school finally built their very own track. This allowed the physical education classes to run and use it. By the year 2006-2007, they decided to work on the football stadium and grass, which they did not finish until the year 2007-2008. The stadium was put to use on September 24, 2007 against Fairfield High School. A pool was constructed during the spring and summer to make the school fully usable for athletic sports. It was ready and usable by the start of the 2008-2009 school year. There are rumors it may be planned to be filled with Jell-O during the Winter months to keep to school's notorious seagull population at bay.
