Good morning, Stockton.

University of the Pacific announced on May 28 plans to build a School of Medicine at Knoles Hall, 3601 Pacific Ave to combat physician shortages in Stockton and the Central Valley.

Construction will begin in 2028 and the school is scheduled to open in fall 2030 with 60 students.

Lincoln High School and Village Oaks High School celebrated their commencement in Stockton today as graduates entered the stadium, sang the alma mater, and tossed their caps in a lively ceremony.

Video highlights captured the proud moment (a milestone for the community).

Fans in Stockton can vote on the new pro hockey team's name for play at Adventist Health Arena in October; the finalists are Stockton Thunder, Stockton Spears (a nod to the local asparagus past), Stockton Steam, and Port City Pirates.
