Olympian High School
Olympian High School is a public high school in San Diego County, California. It is part of Sweetwater Union High School District. The school, with a capacity of 2,500 students, opened in August 2006. It is located on the outskirts of the Otay Ranch area of Chula Vista.

History

With the 54-acre (220,000 m) site for the school being located only a couple miles from the Olympic Training Center, naming the school Olympic High School seemed a logical choice, but the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOC) denied the request to use the name "Olympic." Following further negotiations with the USOC, Sweetwater Union High School District was authorized to use the name Olympic Vista High School. The USOC did eventually approve the use of Olympian High School as the name of the school resulting in a quick name change.
