Chula Vista High School (CVHS) is a public high school located in Chula Vista, California. Founded in 1947, it is part of the Sweetwater Union High School District.

History

[edit]

Chula Vista first opened in the summer of 1947, operating out of a temporary campus in Brown Field Municipal Airport with an estimated student enrollment of 650.[2] By 1949, the student body had grown to just over 900 students between grades 10, 11, and 12; a new school at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and K Street was under construction.[3] A 2006 referendum enabled existing facilities on Fourth Street to become more environmentally friendly; a new performing arts center was also built as a result.[4]

Athletics

[edit]

The school's athletic teams are nicknamed the Spartans and compete in the Metropolitan Conference.[5]

Performing arts

[edit]

CVHS has a competitive show choir, "Main Attraction", and previously fielded the all-female group "Dreamgirls".[6] The program also hosts an annual competition, billed the "SoCal Show Choir Invitational".[7]
