Carpinteria High School (2024)

The Carpinteria High School conceptual plan lays out a three-phase implementation plan. CHS will replace all old portables on campus with new modular classrooms including a new science wing. Extensive modernization work will be done in the cafeteria as well as classroom wings B, C, D, F and G creating a dynamic learning environment for our students. A new administrative/student services building will sit near the parking lots and will anchor the new plaza at the entrance of the campus.

Athletic facilities will also see significant improvements with the renovation of the gymnasium.

Administration Building Design

Plans for the design of the new Administration Building at CHS were submitted to the Division of the State Architect for review on October 9, 2020.

The new 5,500 square foot administration building will be constructed at the front of the school between the “F” wing for classrooms and the faculty parking lot. This location will improve access to visitors as well as provide additional security for the campus. It has been designed to be compatible with the existing buildings and will house offices for the high school’s administrative staff and counselors.

Student Lockers Replacement

• Completed January 2016

• Construction Cost: $89,547

The locker replacement project is the first project funded by Measure U.

A total of 860 new lockers were installed at Carpinteria High School in January 2016. The lockers have a superior paint coating system that will be easier to maintain, continuous stainless steel hinges for long lasting durability and are also ADA compliant. New locks with red dials were added to the project to reflect the school’s color.

Students can now store their textbooks, supplies, and personal items in a clean, safe place. Another benefit of the locker replacement project is improved circulation on campus. Rather than simply replacing the lockers in their existing location, CUSD capitalized on the opportunity to spread them out to ease the congestion in a couple of key areas on campus.

The modernization of the gymnasium began construction in July 2020 and is anticipated to be complete in February 2021. The scope of the modernization includes: a new layout as well as new finishes; remodeled locker rooms, restrooms and showers; new bleachers, scoreboards and backboards; new technology, and lights.
