Skyline Elementary School Breaks Ground

The Solana Beach School District celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Skyline Elementary School under sunny skies on Friday, June 9.

Skyline, a Solana Beach School District elementary school, was originally constructed in the 1950s. With the passage of a local bond in November 2016, this site will be reconstructed into a 70,000 SF school.

The District plans to complete the construction of this facility and open the school Fall 2018. Construction is projected to commence June 2017. The school facility will consist of 650 students and will house 34 K-6 classrooms, a library/media center, art room, music room, computer room, resource specialist area, science lab, stage multi-purpose building, administrative offices, and many more facilities. Students will be relocated off-site during the construction period.

Balboa Elementary Career Day 2016

Each year Ric Davy and our team visits 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss a career in Architecture. The students have an opportunity to review our work, look at models, ask questions and learn about the field. 

A note from the principal: 

"How wonderful it was to see the eyes of our children when scientist, policeman, fireman, teachers, professors, dentists, news reporters, DJ’s, electricians, office officials, navy, nurses,  business owners, construction directors, architects, orthopedic surgeons, environmental planners, college transition directors, exploring directors, and more at Balboa Career Day 2016-2017.  " 
Reyna Ruiz and Ric Davy meet with the class.
