It was built on the site of the former Curtis Middle School.

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.

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]
