According to the administration the lunch facilities could not physically accomodate the over 2,000 students attending school here. The new schedule was met with mixed reactions, Many did not like the schedule because it prohibited them from meeting their friends. Sophomore Robert Aldana stated, I can't get into eating lunch at 11:12 in the morning because I don't even eat breakfast until noon .
