Brea : Public Invited to See School Ground-Breaking

Ground-breaking ceremonies will be held Saturday for the Brea-Olinda Unified School District’s new high school, district officials announced.

The public is invited to attend the 10 a.m. ceremony for Brea-Olinda High School, district officials said. However, parking will not be allowed at the site, which is off Lambert Road near Associated Road.

Visitors are requested to park at alternate sites, where they will be picked up by school buses and shuttled to the ground-breaking location.

Alternate sites include the old high school at 803 E. Birch St.; the Civic Cultural Center at the Brea Mall; Brea United Methodist Church at State College Boulevard and Lambert Road; Nazarene Federal Credit Union on Lambert Road just east of the Orange Freeway, and at a vacant lot on Lambert Road near Associated Road.

School buses will transport visitors to the ground breaking from the parking sites at 9:15 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. Saturday, district officials said.

District Supt. Edgar Seal and members of the school board will take part in the ground breaking. The new high school, which will replace the old one on Birch Street, is scheduled to open in September, 1988.
