Principal's Message

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to San Jacinto Middle College High School — a school built on innovation, opportunity, and community through our ongoing partnership with Mt. San Jacinto College.

Since opening our doors in August 2023, we’ve made tremendous strides. From our first graduating class, to achieving our Initial WASC Accreditation, and to securing key grants that support student learning and well-being, our foundation is strong and our vision is bold. We’ve built a school culture rooted in pride, purpose, and progress — and we continue to grow our programs, strengthen our systems, and expand the opportunities available to our students.

SJMCHS offers something truly unique: a dual-enrollment experience that allows students to fulfill high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credit. This accelerated pathway gives our students a head start on their college journeys and opens doors to a wide variety of academic and career possibilities. Whether they plan to attend a four-year university, enter a technical field, or explore entrepreneurial dreams, our students graduate ready for the road ahead.

But SJMCHS is more than academics — it’s a place where students are seen, supported, and empowered. Our small-school setting creates a close-knit community where students, staff, and families work together to foster a sense of belonging and mutual respect. We emphasize leadership, critical thinking, and real-world learning, helping students grow not just as scholars, but as confident, capable individuals ready to make a difference in the world.

Together, we can continue building a school that reflects the values of our community and the limitless potential of our students!
