Principal's Message
Dear Triton Families,
As I begin my second year as principal of San Clemente High School, I want to take a moment to reflect on what a privilege it is to serve this incredible community. As both a parent and an SCHS alum, this school continues to hold deep personal meaning for me. Over the past year, I’ve been inspired by the commitment of our staff, the resilience of our students, and the unwavering support from families like yours.
San Clemente High School stands as a symbol of pride in our town, a place where generations have contributed to a tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts. Our motto, “One Town, One Team,” continues to guide our shared purpose and collective spirit.
As we head into this school year, our focus remains anchored in three key areas: academic achievement, professional development and collaboration, and community and culture. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Academic Achievement
We’re committed to refining instruction and aligning learning experiences that prepare students for college, career, and life beyond high school. Whether it’s through rigorous coursework, real-world learning, or expanded supports, our goal is to ensure every student has access to a high-quality education.
Professional Development & Collaboration
We continue to build strong professional learning communities (PLCs) where teachers reflect, plan, and grow together. This year, we’ll further strengthen our shared commitment to student-centered instruction by using evidence-based practices and prioritizing student learning outcomes across every classroom.
Community & Culture
SCHS thrives because of the traditions, pride, and people that make it special. From celebrating academic milestones and athletic victories to engaging in the arts and community service, we aim to create a school culture where every student feels connected, seen, and supported. We also recognize that strong school-home communication is key, and we’re committed to keeping you informed, engaged, and empowered to partner with us.
I look forward to continuing this work together and making the 2025–26 school year one of connection, growth, and momentum.
