High School of the Arts Might Get Own Campus
Orange County High School of the Arts soon might have 5 acres to call its own, modern facilities and room to double the student body, according to plans being presented to the business community.
The new campus will include state-of-the art performance areas and room for 800 students from throughout the county, said Ralph Opacic, executive director of the school.
He will discuss the plans at a March 6 Los Alamitos Area Chamber of Commerce meeting.
About 440 students attend the arts campus, now operating at Los Alamitos High School. Land for the new campus, on Bloomfield Street, has been approved and an opening date could be set as early as September 1999.
The public school is trying to raise $18.2 million for the project. So far, there is $5.4 million for the new campus.
Opacic will speak at 7:30 a.m. in the Cypress Golf Club, 4921 Katella Ave. Admission is $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers if reservations are made by March 4. After the deadline, prices go up $2.
