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]
