Construction teams are putting the finishing touches on Phase II of Measure B facility upgrades in preparation for the first day of the 2026–2027 school year, Wednesday, August 12.

Following a highly successful Measure B Phase I, which delivered major roofing and climate control enhancements under budget, Phase II has made significant progress over the summer months. This summer, improvements were completed at 14 NVUSD campuses with projects ranging from exterior painting and HVAC and roof replacements to parking lot paving. The majority of these upgrades were funded through Measure B. 

“We are excited to welcome our students and staff back on August 12 to safer and more comfortable school campuses," said NVUSD Superintendent Dr. Rosanna Mucetti. "Measure B reflects our community's shared investment in our students. This work directly supports Vision 2040 by cultivating inspiring spaces where every student can learn and grow. Thank you to Napa voters for making these important investments in our schools possible."

In the buzzing World Language building at Vintage High School, I meet with Hudson, a Vintage High senior, NVUSD Student Board Member, and varsity runner. During our interview, Hudson reveals a surprising truth: for many years, his default setting wasn’t "yes." He shares that he was a "no" person.

It took his own innate abilities, the guidance of a coach and college counselor, and hundreds of miles on the pavement to shift towards "yes."
