 South San Francisco High School has an excellent faculty and staff committed to the academic and personal success of our students.  As is the case with most schools in the state, the focus in our classrooms will be in the California State Content Standards.  Outside the classroom efforts will focus on student support systems that will enable students to meet their academic and personal goals.

The California State Content Standards and the school’s adopted Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs) drive the curriculum being delivered in classrooms.  Daily lesson plans, as well as the numerous projects that are assigned to students, emphasize the need for students to master the content standards and ESLRs.  The Freshmen Project, the Sophomore Cold War Project, Junior American History Project, and the Senior Exit Project are all examples of research projects that incorporate the state standards and the ESLRs. 

 South San Francisco High School is committed to not only delivering the required curriculum but also to providing the necessary support for students to be successful academically.  Our academic counselors and our intervention counselor are available to students for advice regarding college requirements, scheduling, and personal issues.  Other programs at the school such as AVID, the Peer Leadership Program and Los Hermanos/Las Hermanas are in place to help students successfully meet their goals. 

 Finally, a variety of co-curricular activities, school clubs, and athletic teams are well established atSouth San Francisco High School.  All students are encouraged to participate in these school-sponsored organizations to ensure a well-rounded high school experience.
