Modernization
La Cumbre Junior High School is Santa Barbara’s oldest intermediate school. It was designed in 1926 and opened in 1928 as a junior high school serving grades seven through nine. The Spanish-style school is housed on a 21.95-acre campus on the west side of Santa Barbara. The 1,063-seat theatre is used as both an educational facility as well as a community theater. The proposed project will enhance the overall educational experience, allow the theatre to become more marketable and attract larger professional and public performances.
