Capistrano Valley High School (often called CVHS) is a public high school at the southern border of Mission Viejo, California, USA, that is run by the Capistrano Unified School District. It is set on a hilltop overlooking the San Diego Freeway (I-5) corridor and Saddleback Mountain. It is located on Via Escolar, off the Avery exit of the I-5. The school attendance boundaries primarily serve students from eastern, southern and northern Mission Viejo (the entire portion of the city in CUSD) and a small northern portion of San Juan Capistrano. CVHS is a California Distinguished School,〔(Capistrano Unified School District: Home Page )〕 National Blue Ribbon Finalist,〔 and was ranked as number 488 in ''Newsweeks 2008 list of the top 1,300 high schools in the USA.〔("America's Top Public High Schools" ) from ''Newsweek''〕 By this standard, CVHS falls in the top 2.5% of US high schools.〔(Capistrano Valley High School ) from Capistrano Unified School District website〕 It is the lowest ranked for the school district and second highest rank between both Saddleback Valley and Capistrano Unified that serve south Orange County. ==History== CVHS opened in 1977 with one main building and a series of portable buildings that served as temporary classrooms, and 1,326 students. It was the third high school to be opened in Capistrano Unified School District after San Clemente and Dana Hills. The campus and buildings have since expanded; notable additions include two wings attached to the original main building, a pool, a gym, theater and a two-story M Building. CVHS experienced several population shifts as the district opened the new schools of Aliso Niguel and Tesoro with the building boom in southern Orange County. Student attendance shifted between these schools as district boundaries were re-drawn with each new school addition. The 2006-2007 school year was the last year that San Juan Capistrano freshmen students enrolled at CVHS. In the 2007-2008 school year, most SJC freshmen attended the district's new San Juan Hills High School. A few San Juan Capistrano students who lived close to the Mission Viejo/San Juan city borders continued to attend CVHS. There was controversy over the addition of San Juan Hills High School which would serve San Juan Capistrano, and CVHS would serve solely Mission Viejo with the new boundaries the district settled on. In the 2005-2006 school year, over 2,800 students attended CVHS. The freshman class that entered in 2006 was the largest ever. Due to ongoing problems at San Juan Hills High School, Capistrano Unified appointed CVHS Principal Tom Ressler to that campus after 22 years at Capistrano Valley. Ressler began his job at SJHHS in fall 2008 and Deni Christensen, the former Vice Principal of Guidance was appointed by the district as the new principal of Capistrano Valley at the same time.〔(Capistrano Unified School District: Home Page )〕 Kevin Astor has since been appointed Principal, replacing Deni Christensen. The average class size is 34 students. There are 93 teachers and 90 have a full credential. 4.3% of the teachers hold doctorates, 52% hold a masters degree. CVHS's rivals are Mission Viejo High School, Tesoro High School and El Toro High School.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capistrano Valley High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
