Master Plan - MetroED

The “Vision 2020 / Facilities Master Plan” (V2020 FMP) updates the previously published “2006 Preliminary Facilities Assessment Report” (2006 PFAR), and provides an overall course for the future of the Metropolitan Education District (MetroED) facilities.

As the Hillsdale Avenue campus approaches 45 years, the ongoing mission for MetroED is to plan for flexibility of classroom usage, while providing students expanded educational opportunities that meet industry needs. As industry needs evolve, course offerings must evolve. As instructional programs, courses and classes evolve, the facilities must also evolve in order to meet this mandate.

Our History

MetroED’s programs have a long history of providing high school and adult education to students in Santa Clara County.

MetroED’s high school program has deep roots in San Jose, California that began as San Jose Technical High School (1917-1958). The all-male school was located on the site of San Jose High School. The school moved twice before becoming a center on Hillsdale Avenue, where it has been located since 1968.

MetroED’s adult program had its beginnings in 1870 when it was called Night School. Prior to World War I, this was largely an evening high school to permit young adults to make up deficiencies in their earlier education.
