853 days after the first shovel broke ground at
the site, Chaminade High School officially
opened the 68,354-square-foot facility at the annual
President’s Council Dinner, held on August 25, 2007.
The dream became a reality.
T
he building contains a 1,400-seat basketball
arena, a wrestling room, a 270-seat auditorium,
and a suspended track, as well as locker rooms
and a concession stand.
The completion of the project, with help from
students, faculty, and Brothers, occurred months
ahead of schedule – a testament to the enthusiasm
and support of the entire Chaminade Family.
