A full page ad in the Gazette last Sunday was dedicated to thanking some Colorado Springs home builders for helping make the new Falcon - Vista Ridge High School a reality.

The new Vista Ridge High School is located north of Dublin and Black Forest Road (just north of the Colorado Springs Greenhaven Neighborhood) and will be easily accessible from the Templeton Gap expansion to the west. Anyone who lives in D49 knows how desperately a new High School was needed, seeing as even though Sand Creek HS got an expansion it still was WAY overcrowded. The Colorado Springs Real Estate Market can really only grow east ... which is D49 land for the most part.

The Falcon School District put out this "Thank You" ad thanking the D49 Board of Education, parents, children and included a very special message to Colorado Springs home builders, for people looking to buy a home in Colorado Springs: "Please buy your new home from one of these builders who support your kids."

The Colorado Springs home builders included a variety of companies (totaling 21) - both local builders (like Classic Homes) and national builders (like John Laing Homes).

This project was part of the Falcon Community Builders for Classrooms - "Communities and Schools are Built Together."

The school will cost $12.5 Million to build and is due to open Fall of 2008.
