Of the 254 students hoping to transfer to Christopher High School for its opening this fall, 67 will get their wish.
The school board unanimously voted to allow the 67 students living north of First Street but outside the CHS boundary to attend Gilroy’s second high school, located at the corner of Day Road and Santa Teresa Boulevard in north Gilroy. Uncomfortable with accommodating all the transfer applications for capacity reasons, the board decided to allow the 67 transfers this year with the stipulation that the boundary committee go back to the drawing board in the near future to redraw the dividing line that separates CHS students in the north from Gilroy High School students to the south.
Adding the 67 transfers will bring the school’s capacity to 609 in its inaugural year, well within the school’s initial capacity for 1,000.
