Sweetwater Union High School District

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who make a difference in the lives of our students every day.

Thank you for the encouragement, guidance, support, and love you provide both at home and in our school communities. Your presence helps shape confident, resilient, and successful young people.

Happy Father's Day!

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day of reflection, celebration, and remembrance.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally received the news of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation

It is a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward freedom, equality, and opportunity.

In the Sweetwater District, we celebrate the richness of our diverse communities and the many stories, cultures, and experiences that make us stronger together.

Happy Juneteenth,

Last week, Sweetwater's Visual and Performing Arts Department wrapped up the SUHSD Summer Arts Academy at Chula Vista High School's Jack Tygett Performing Arts Center! This free, week-long camp brought together SUHSD students currently enrolled in the arts for an immersive experience spanning Baile Folklórico, Band, Visual Art, Choir, Color Guard, Dance, Jazz Ensemble, Mariachi, Music Engineering, Orchestra, Print Shop, Theater, and more. Great way to kick off the summer!

SUHSD celebrated the 70th Annual ASB Leadership Camp, hosted by Olympian High School with the theme "Out of this World!" High school student leaders from across the district came together for a full day of breakout sessions, team building, spirit activities, and the Great Race, capped off with a Dance and Awards ceremony. From mental health and public speaking to event planning and cultural celebrations, our ASB leaders left inspired and ready to make an impact on their campuses.

SUHSD is excited to highlight the Let's Go South Bay Girls Empowerment Camp, a free week-long soccer camp held at Southwestern College for girls ages 13 to 15 in the South Bay area!

Many of our own SUHSD students participate in this incredible program, which goes beyond the field by combining athletic training with mental health workshops and self-empowerment sessions designed to help young women grow, thrive, and leave camp feeling confident and ready to take on the world.

A special thank you to founding member and Montgomery High School alumna Carolina Soto for welcoming us to visit and capture this amazing experience. We are proud to be part of a community that invests in the next generation of young women leaders.

SUHSD's Middle School ASB leaders recently came together at Mar Vista Academy for the ASB World Cup Leadership Camp! Student leaders from schools across the district participated in leadership sessions, team building activities, and spirit competitions all designed to inspire collaboration, creativity, and school pride.

Yesterday, the Sweetwater District hosted its inaugural Binational Graduation Ceremony at CETYS Universidad, celebrating members of the Class of 2026 and the families who supported them throughout their educational journey.

The ceremony provided an opportunity for loved ones in Mexico to participate in this important milestone and highlighted the strong binational connections that define our region and school community.

Congratulations to our graduates and to the families whose encouragement, sacrifice, and unwavering support helped make this achievement possible. 🎓
