Moreno Valley High Scool

Moreno Valley High School has broken ground on their new multi purpose building here in Angel Fire. This is an exciting time for Moreno Valley High, (ranked 41st best high school in the USA by Newsweek/Washington Post in 2008), as this is our first permanent facility. The first phase of the new campus, the Multi-purpose Facility is the most prominent architectural feature of the school and the centerpiece of its wind control strategy.  Located on the western edge of the school, it acts as a prow, deflecting westerly predominant winds.  It contains a gathering hall whose roof is designed to shed the wind, capture rain water and snow as well as admit abundant natural light.  Also included in this first phase of construction are student lockers and commons and a kitchen.

Jacque Boyd, School Director, says this facility is ahead of schedule and should be completed by late spring 2010, just in time for my son's junior year. If you are looking for quality of life and World Class Educations for your children here are a few facts to consider about our high school...
