Chaparral High School, colloquially known as Chap, is a public, 4-year comprehensive high school in Temecula, California, United States. The school serves students in grades 9 through 12 and is one of five high schools in the Temecula Valley Unified School District.
History
The school opened in 1997 with a class of freshmen and sophomores, and added juniors the following year and seniors after that, graduating its first class in 2000.[2] It was the second comprehensive high school built in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, after Temecula Valley,[3] and was constructed at a cost of $36 million.[4] The puma was chosen over the cougar for the school mascot, and platinum was chosen for a school color instead of flat silver.[5] It was also named a California Gold Ribbon School in 2017.[6]
The school became the subject of media attention after it cooperated with the local police in orchestrating an undercover drug sting which resulted in the arrest of an autistic teenager.[7]
