History

Official groundbreaking of the $68 million project was March 5, 2010. The 56.4-acre (228,000 m2) site includes 102 classrooms, a gymnasium, performing arts building, multipurpose room, library, child care center, track and field, soccer and baseball fields, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, and a swimming pool. The school will hold about 2,700 students.[3]

The school was named for the region's natural springs, which were known to have been used by the generations of Native Americans who had occupied the area for thousands of years. Chairman James Ramos of the San Manuel Tribe, which was among these, was the principal dedication speaker at the groundbreaking ceremony. “Springs have always played a vital part in Indian culture,” Ramos said, “and Indian people have always played a vital part in California history.[3] ”
