Principal Jeff Guzman is thrilled for the long overdue project. “Over Serra’s history, our student-athletes have used their God-given talents and have been blessed to experience much success. Serra has never had a central location on campus to highlight our student-athletes’ achievements, and now we do.”

The success is indeed impressive. Since 1950, Serra Cavaliers have earned eight state championships, 41 CIF championships and 91 league championships. In additional, Serra coaches have been named ‘State Coach of the Year’ eight times.
