What makes this school special

  • One of SFUSD's designated Newcomer Program high schools, open to students arriving in any home language rather than a single one
  • An eight-period day lets students take an extra course beyond the standard load — room for a CTE pathway or college class without giving up electives
  • Two career-technical (CTE) academies, Game Design and a Culinary Pathway, plus college classes at CCSF or SFSU; SFUSD runs its CTE programs as two- to three-year course sequences
  • The free Good Samaritan after-school program runs daily until 7 pm with tutoring, cooking, gaming, drumming, and skateboarding clubs
  • Founded in 1994 as an academic high school for the city's southeast, with a fully staffed Wellness Center and wraparound community-school services
