A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SARATOGA
WHEREAS, Saratoga High School envisions a multi-purpose Performing Arts and
Lecture Center, worthy of our students talents and flexible enough to host a wide range of
educational programs, and such a Center would serve the needs of the larger Saratoga
community as well; and
WHEREAS, when Saratoga High School was designed and constructed in the late
1950's, the plans included an auditorium that was never built; and
WHEREAS, three years ago, when Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District
did a needs assessment for purposes of the bond proposal, a "multi-purpose hall" was
identified by the school community as one of its most important needs; and
WHEREAS, Saratoga High Schools' award winning Theater, Music, Art, Speech and
Debate Programs will have a place to call their own, and the Center will enable teachers
in the core Departments the opportunity to attract leading lecturers in their fields, thus
broadening the educational opportunities for our students; and
WHEREAS, the Performing Arts and Lecture Center will benefit the larger Saratoga
community through community lecture, town hall meetings, lectures, and a variety of
other events; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby support Saratoga
High Schools' conceptualization of the Performing Arts and Lecture Center, and
acknowledge the likelihood of the Center becoming one of the crown jewels of the larger
Saratoga community.
