Some excellent resources from ProQuest, a California State Library resource. Provided for Black History Month, but we know we need to learn about American History all the time! We're living through it! Perspective on those who have gone before and what they accomplished is critical to our understanding of our own time.
Congratulations to all of our National History Day students! These are the projects that are eligible to move to the next level of National History Day competition.
Your teachers are very proud of the work you've done, and we look forward to your participation in the County History Competition in March!

This link was posted to Social Media by our friend and colleague, Hector Camacho, currently serving as the President of the San Mateo County Board of Education.
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!
