Thirty-six Steele Canyon High students lose homes

Parents and teachers at Steele Canyon High School are seeking donations to help the at least 36 students who lost their homes in the Harris fire.


The school, which reopened today, is still assessing how many students were directly affected by the wildfires.

Many of the students who lost homes lived in Barrett Junction and Dulzura and sought shelter with their families at the school during the fires.

In addition, a teacher and school board member, David Wilson, lost their homes.

The school is accepting cash and gift card donations for students who need to replace school supplies, sport uniforms, equipment and other material.

Donations may be sent to Steele Canyon High School, 12440 Campo Road, Spring Valley, 91978-2331, attn: Governing Board Secretary. For more information visit the school's Web site at: http://www.schscougars.org/. -Leonel Sanchez, staff writer
