As the fastest growing city in the San Francisco Bay Area [1], with a population expected to expand more than 69 percent in the next 25 years, adding 34,600 and reaching more than 81,000 residents, the citizens and businesses of Dublin will benefit significantly from the addition of a second, high-caliber high school.
“Tassajara Prep was established to offer all Dublin parents a new choice,” said Rully Kusuma, president of Dublin Learning Corporation. “It will provide the best possible academic program to help all of our students prepare for life beyond high school. In addition, while we may initially utilize a shared-use Proposition 39 facility in one of the Dublin Unified School District buildings, our long term vision is to offer our families in Dublin the cohesive sense of community that a neighborhood high school brings, while eliminating the need for thousands of daily cross-town car trips to the only high school currently available, which is on the west side of town. It’s a truly win-win-win situation for our students, parents and the city of Dublin.”
