During its first year, Del Norte is expected to have approximately 700 students in order to create a personalized learning experience. Also notable is the absence of juniors and seniors, as the first year will only contain freshmen and sophomores. The expected student population after the first few years is approximately 2,250 students.On May 13, 2014, the Bernardo Fire broke out near the school, leading to the evacuation of 21,000 nearby houses.CurriculumDel Norte has expressed interest in adding the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to its curriculum, but this idea is still only under consideration. Recently, it was disclosed that course offerings at Del Norte have been limited by budget concerns. Due to this, Del Norte will not be offering many language and elective classes in its first few years. Del Norte will offer a 3 by 5 system. It will have 3 trimesters and 5 classes per trimester for a total of 15 classes per year likewise to that of Mt. Carmel High School's current system. This layout allows students 3 more classes a year than RBHS 12 classes per year, but one less than Westview's with the 4 by 4 system.
