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

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

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

Performing arts

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]
