Challenger Middle School
Middle School in San Diego, CA
In 1987, Challenger Middle School began as a junior high with a double-session schedule of 840 7th graders sharing the site of Wangenheim Junior High School. We moved to temporary bungalows situated next to our current site later that same year. Our permanent buildings opened in 1990 with 8th graders joining us in 1991. We became a middle school with sixth, seventh and eighth graders in 1996.
