Ballet Folklorico Alma de Mexico traveled to Disneyland and California Adventure to perform March 12-14.  The trip was hampered by both rain and COVID-19 closing the parks on Saturday the 14th.

Students and parents still had some fun at both parks, even in the rain.  For many students, their first time at Disneyland, will always be a great memory!

Thanks for representing South City!

 

 

 

Thank you to all the students who showed up prepared and all the staff, faculty and alums who volunteered to judge.

County History Day is Thursday, March 19 and State History Day is March 9-10 at William Jessup University in Roseville.

Good luck to all projects moving on to the next level of competition!

 

 

 

 

Jackie Speier visits

South San Francisco High

South San Francisco High School and the district were honored to host Congresswoman Jackie Speier and Professor Bernadette Meyler to discuss the consequences of the ongoing impeachment process and our Constitution.

Organized in conjunction with the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE), the forum took place at the South San Francisco High School auditorium and was open to all residents of San Francisco and San Mateo Counties.

Congresswoman Speier represents California's 14th congressional district, which includes much of San Mateo County and a portion of San Francisco County.

Students and community members asked excellent questions about the Impeachment process and it was an engaging and informative evening.  Thank you to those that helped make it happen!

Congratulations to 14 South City Students
