The District accepted naming submissions from the public for the school. During the six-week submission period, the district received 15 suggestions that proposed namesakes of local landmarks, a famous scientist and historical individuals who have made contributions to the City.
“Even in a growing district like ours, naming a school remains an extraordinary opportunity and we hope Riego Creek will resonate with the community,” says Board President Alisa Fong. “As our city grows west, Riego has become a name that is familiar to our residents, especially as Riego Road becomes a main arterial route.”
Riego Creek Elementary Location
Derivi Castellanos Architects (DCA) will oversee design and Jeff Luchetti Construction (JLC) will oversee the build. The school site, formerly known as F-71, is located near the intersection of Hayden Parkway and Holt Parkway in west Roseville.
Riego Creek Elementary will accommodate 800 students at full capacity and will include indoor and outdoor learning spaces, flexible learning space and a dedicated music room on a 10-acre site, adjacent to a city park. Orchard Ranch Elementary in the Westpark neighborhood was the District’s most recent new school to open in 2017. At that time, it opened with 450 students and now has more than 700 students.
