What Measure G Accomplished
In 2001, Measure G, a bond measure for $19.5 million, built Creekside Middle School, which houses over 1300 students. Creekside relieved overcrowding in Patterson schools by moving the 6th graders out of the elementary schools and the 7th and 8th graders off the high school campus.
