The San Diego City Council Tuesday voted to preserve San Diego High School by approving a new 99-year lease with San Diego Unified School District.

San Diego officials have formally signed off on a contract that will keep the city's oldest public high school on dedicated park land for another century.

For nearly 140 years, San Diego High School has laid claim to a portion of Balboa Park where courts have said it does not belong. Now, thanks to the generous terms contained in a new lease on the cusp of approval, the school looks as if it will be a permanent park resident.

San Diego High School will keep its controversial location and stadium on the outskirts of Balboa Park for another 99 years, per the terms of a nearly final contract with the city that is on track to be executed in the fall.
