History Of Poway High

December 17, 1959, the Escondido Union High School District’s Board of Trustees purchased the land for the site of Poway High School. The buildings were constructed by the J.R. Hortie Company of San Diego and the Smiley Brothers of El Cajon. The school included seven buildings. One building housed the resource center, library, three classrooms, a reading laboratory, and three conference rooms. There was an administration building, a gymnasium with showers and lockers, a shop, and a facility with two classrooms. Originally, the “plant” was capable of accommodating 775 students. The enrollment at the time the school was completed was 411 students. The master plan for the school made it possible to educate a total of 1,800 students.

Poway High School was first dedicated on November 4, 1961, at 11:00 a.m. The staff, students, school district, and community members convened for a formal ceremony and afterwards celebrated with an open house, BBQ, and football game.

With the new construction completed in 2008, Poway High School further illuminates the dream of its originators. We have over 18 buildings that house classrooms, a library, offices, conference rooms, auto and wood shops, and over 600 computers. Our 21st century facilities are equipped with up-to-date technology that assists staff in serving our 2,400 students.
