In the late hours of morning on May 21, 1976, a bus filled with the school's choir veered off the Marina Vista/Martinez Exit off-ramp off southbound Highway 680 [Now Interstate 680], fell approximately 30 feet, and landed on its roof, crushing the roof towards the bottom. As a result, 28 young lives were lost and many families' lives changed forever. The Marina Vista exit has since been renamed to Waterfront.
