Joseph A. Gregori High School is a high school in Modesto, California, United States. When it opened in fall 2010, [4] it was the seventh comprehensive high school in Modesto City Schools. [5]

History

Planning for this school started in the early 1990s, following a lengthy history within the district of the need for another campus to accommodate students in the Salida area and northwest Modesto, relieving overcrowding at Modesto and Davis High School. [6] In 2001, Modesto City Schools passed a high school bond called Measure T that provided $65 million for the construction of two high schools. [7]

The school is named for Joseph Gregori, [8] who served as a principal, teacher, and coach in the Modesto City Schools for 28 years before his death in 1998 at age 50. [9]

The school opened in the fall of 2010 with 9th and 10th-grade students. It was designed for a capacity of 2,500 students and was projected to open with 1,800–1,950 students.
