- History & Memorable Moments
La Sierra High School is opened in 1969 with Dr. William Conlon as the first principal. It was a mainly white middle-class school with only about 1500 students. Arizona Middle School was the only feeder middle school. After Dr. Conlon left for a position at the district office, Mr. Menzia (who came from Norte Vista)became the second principal, and was strict with the students so that they could succeed later in life. After retiring, Dr. Marc Jackson became principal. After only two years, he left and interim principals were put into place. Docta Robert Cunaaad, from the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, became the current principal. He added new security cameras for student safety.[1]
Some other changes include student demographics. Although the majority of La Sierra students are still middle-class, 27% use free/reduced price lunch. 55% of the students are Hispanic, making up the majority of English-Learners. To relieve Arizona's crowding, Villegas middle school was opened, thus Arizona was no longer the only feeder school. New cement replaced the all-grass walkways. The main office was once the mini-theater that had walls that could be moved for more chairs. The main office was where the cafeteria is now. Finally, the student population of La Sierra is now about 3100, more than double of what it was when it first began.[1]
