New Comprehensive High School - Southwest

New Comprehensive High School - Southwest

The Kern High School District (KHSD, as lead agency) has proposed to construct and operate a new Comprehensive High School (Project), within the unincorporated area of central Kern County at the southern end of San Joaquin Valley, California. The high school campus will occupy approximately 60-acres of the 80-acre Project site. The additional acreage may be kept by KHSD or sold as surplus land. The enrollment capacity will be 2,000 students with the ability to expand to 2,500 students. There will be multiple buildings, with an approximate area totaling 200,000 to 250,000 square feet (sq. ft.). These buildings will include classrooms, administrative and multi-purpose rooms, athletic and play fields. A portion of the site could be Career Technical classroom area, athletic facilities, or any other education function or expansion to the campus. A photovoltaic solar array will also be installed. School facilities typically include single- and multi-story, permanent building structures and some portable units on temporary or permanent foundations with room for future expansion capabilities. The Project site would be primarily accessed from Wible Road and Engel Road.
