It is part of Modesto City Schools and serves students in grades 9-12.

It features an Olympic-sized pool, two baseball fields, a softball and soccer field, three indoor full-size basketball courts, tennis courts, and a football stadium across the street from the campus.

The enclosed campus has two bridges crossing the middle and southern portions of the school.

The school opened in the fall of 1992 to only freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.

The school was recognized for its building design excellence with the 1993 D. MacConnell Award from the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International and attracted a visit from the school trustees of West Sacramento's Washington Union School District who were looking to duplicate the successful campus construction.
