State Senator Mark Wyland and Assemblyman Rocky Chavez’s offices presented a joint resolution honoring the school and its team. 

Superintendent Suzette Lovely closed the dedication with a challenge to the students. “Sage Creek isn’t just a building.  It’s an expression of the attitudes and beliefs you hold about yourselves as learners, as innovators, as athletes, as club members, as citizens. What you leave behind will remain forever embedded in the walls of this campus.  I urge you to take advantage of the opportunities before you, make connections, take risks, and find the niche where you can contribute most to this amazing team.  And, in four years, we’ll be down on that field – making history again – handing out diplomas to the Class of 2017.”

After the ceremony, guests were invited to take tours of the campus led by student tour guides.

Principal Morales stated: “It was an exceptional experience to have our visionaries of this project side by side with our architects, construction company, and those who have brought Sage Creek to life, our students, staff, and parents.  I am proud to be the principal of Sage Creek High School and the great students who chose to contribute to creating a second-to-none high school experience.”
