State of Our Facilities
State of Our Facilities
We believe engaging learning environments, well-maintained campuses and state-of-the-art facilities challenge, inspire and encourage our students to succeed in mind, body and spirit!
Voter Approved
In November, the voters approved a facilities bond affirming the community’s expectation for CUSD to provide students with first-class schools that promote learning. The measure makes possible safety and technology upgrades at every school; modernization work at older schools – including a major project at 68-year-old Nelson Elementary; and completion of the final phases of the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center.

Hard Hat Zone
The 2024-25 year was one for the history books in the district’s Facilities Department! With continued enrollment growth, overcrowding on several campuses, and future housing developments projected to bring more students into the district, four new schools were under construction at varying stages.
- The new Hirayama Elementary School’s student spaces opened in August 2024 at Fowler and McKinley avenues, with all buildings finalized on the campus by the spring.
- A permanent home for Clovis Online School, which has grown nearly 2,000% since its opening in portables 15 years ago, was built to accommodate the unique needs of hybrid online learning; construction was completed this summer in time for an August 2025 opening at Fowler and Herndon avenues.
- A team of 400-plus construction workers completed the academic buildings and student center for Sanchez Intermediate that, with Clovis South High School, are located on the emerging Terry P. Bradley Educational Center at Highland Avenue south of Shields Avenue. Students in seventh through ninth grade began school Aug. 18, 2025, and ongoing construction will add the academic wings of the high school along with gymnasiums, performing arts and other buildings on the center over the next few years.
The district also completed construction of a new Special Education Services facility at Fowler and Herndon avenues that was occupied this summer as a larger space for student support services.
