We’ve been waiting for over a decade but the time has come to build our new high school!

With Measure Q, the class of 2007 will accept their diplomas at a new, state-of-the-art high school campus that will serve the educational and career needs of all of West Sacramento’s youth.

Opened in 1954, James Marshall High School was built to serve a maximum 800 high school students.  Today, River City High School has added classrooms and upgraded its facilities.  But over 1,600 students are now crammed into the campus. 

That’s why West Sacramento parents, students and educators created Measure Q – to demand better student achievement and to build our new high school.

Measure Q will end high school overcrowding and offer superior educational and career programs for our youth.

Measure Q will help fund a new comprehensive high school for West Sacramento – the first new high school in decades.

Measure Q means kids will enjoy a better high school experience.
-  Smaller class sizes in state-of-the art classrooms and labs.
-  Individualized college prep courses.

-  Specialized programs to get at-risk kids back on track.
-  A bigger library open to the public.

-  A new theater and better music and art rooms.
-  Industry-supported job and career training, and school-to-work programs.
-  Sports and recreation facilities for use by high school teams and West Sacramento residents.

Measure Q is the result of over 13 years of community planning.

Road improvements and additional buses will reduce traffic near the new high school. Developers will pay their fair share of the cost and a citizens oversight committee will review all of the spending. All new funds for the high school will be used for the site and construction of facilities. Not one dollar will be used for bureaucrats or administrator salaries.
