The James Logan Courier

The newest addition to New Haven District, Conley-Caraballo High School, has something that no other school in Alameda County has. During the 120 days that it took to build Conley, they added solar power.

Enrique Palacios, Executive Director of Operations for New Haven, said the idea installing an array solar power panels came to him when the idea of building the school, to replace the demolished but sorely missed El Rancho Verde High School, was proposed. In an interview with The Courier, he said “Since the school was going to be rebuilt, it made it even easier to install. Conley is a new school, there is no history, so I thought, let’s test it.”
