What IS that giant looming to the North of Greenhaven? It is the new Falcon, School District 49 High School. We have been watching it grow and grow over the past few months. How big IS it going to get?? I do not know … yet.
I have heard that the proposed set up will have the parking lot to the North of the building and the football stadium will be North of that, so the residents of Greenhaven will be far removed from the "Friday Night Lights". The soccer fields and baseball diamonds and tennis courts will be to the West of the school.
Templeton Gap is proposed to be built all the way through to the school (before the new High School opens in 2008) – acting as the main thoroughfare to and from the school. This will leave Black Forest Road a bit quieter, at least for now.
I have heard that some Greenhaven residents are concerned that there will be a bunch of hoodlums hanging out in our neighborhood park once the school is built. Honestly? I WAS once a "hoodlum", and our park is too far away from the school to be that popular of a hang out. So, the only "hoodlums" that will be at our park will be our own kids. ;)
Here is a progression of pictures from a few months ago to now:
Picture 1: Early Summer. View from Black Forest Rd. Nothing there!
Picture 2: Early July. View from Black Forest Rd.

The school just seems to keep getting bigger and bigger every time I look at it.
That school seems to get bigger and bigger everytime that I look at it!
The D49 webpage has a name for the school.
High school #3 has a name, mascot and colors!!! Vista Ridge was approved by the Falcon School District 49 Board of Directors, at last night’s board meeting, as the name for High School #3. The mascot is the Wolves and the colors are Columbia Blue and Black. A special “thank you” goes to the teachers, parents, community members and students that worked so diligently to make this decision. GO WOLVES!!!
JRR- Thank you for the update! What a great mascot and great colors.
