Measure L - 2020 Bond

Mills High School celebrated the completion of school site improvement projects at a May 9, 2025 ribbon cutting ceremony! The event included the Mills Spirit Squad and music by the Mills Jazz Band, led by Music Director Dave Gregoric.

Superintendent Randall Booker, SMUSHD Board Vice President Teri Chavez and Trustee Ligia Andrade-Zuniga were in attendance along with former SMUHSD Board Trustees Peter Hanley and Marc Friedman. Speakers included Principal Pam Duszynski, Board Vice President Teri Chavez, Citizens Oversight Committee Chair Simon Mazzola, MHS 12th grader Kalyssa Chu, and Millbrae Mayor Anders Fung.

The District wishes to express its gratitude to the voters and taxpayers who supported Measure L - a $385 million general obligation bond which funds capital facilities projects across the District. Measure L was approved by voters in 2020. Ribbon-cutting events are meaningful milestones to celebrate the completion of bond construction. They serve as a way to show the community how we are spending their tax dollars in service to generations of students.

Aragon celebrated the completion of its Baseball and Flex Field projects with a ribbon cutting ceremony on March 4, 2025. The event was held just prior to the Aragon vs Burlingame High baseball game. 

SMUHSD Board Vice President Teri Chavez, Board Trustees Jennifer Jacobson and Ligia Andrade Zuniga, Citizens Oversight Committee Member Erica Lyons and City of San Mateo Councilwoman and Measure L Committee member Lisa Diaz Nash, were all in attendance, as well as Aragon Principal Dr. Mike Jones, Athletic Director Steve Sell, and student athletes Josh Jacobs and Sierra Troy. 

SMUHSD would like to thank Greystone West, BHM Construction and Carducci Associates for their contributions to the successful completion of the project.

Field Renovations at Mills and Capuchino High Schools - Completed October 2020

Construction began in May 2020 at Mills and Capuchino High Schools to provide dramatic improvements to fields and stadiums at the schools. The project at Capuchino replaced the grass field with synthetic turf at the school’s stadium field. 

The project at Mills included the same synthetic turf of the school’s stadium field. Synthetic turf fields are less costly to maintain. They reduce a large carbon footprint created by natural fields and allow teams to practice and play even if the weather is inclement. These projects will bring Mills and Capuchino into greater parity with the other four comprehensive schools in terms of facilities. Both stadium projects were budgeted at $2.3 million each and were completed in October 2020. 

Surveillance Cameras - Completed June 2020

In June 2020 work began to install new surveillance cameras at schools across the District. The Board of Trustees is committed to providing a school environment that promotes the safety of students, staff, and visitors to school grounds. The Board also recognizes the importance of protecting District property, facilities, and equipment from vandalism and theft. The total cost for the project was $1.6 million. Work was completed over the summer of 2020. 

The new San Mateo High Athletic Training Complex is an approximately 20,085 square foot building that features a gym which may be used for basketball, volleyball or badminton, as well as locker rooms, a training room, coaches’ offices and a classroom. 

The San Mateo High Celebration is scheduled for: 

Friday, August 29 at 3 p.m.
506 North Delaware Street, San Mateo
