Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) is a school district headquartered in Chula Vista, California. The union high school district serves over 42,000 high school-aged students and over 32,000 adult learners. Overseen by a five-member board of trustees, the district operates 14 high schools (11 regular, 2 alternative, 1 charter); 11 middle schools; 4 adult schools; a regional occupational program (ROP); and special education.
Located in the southwestern part of San Diego County between Southeast San Diego and Mexico, the district serves the cities of Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, the exclave of South San Diego, the unincorporated community of Bonita and a portion of Coronado. It is one of the most ethnically and economically diverse districts in California. Approximately 87 percent of students belong to an ethnic minority group and over 40 percent of students qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.
The district has earned recognition for its "Compact for Success" program, a deal made with San Diego State University (SDSU) that guarantees Sweetwater graduates admission to the university if they meet certain requirements throughout their high school career.
