I'm a transfer student that moved out from Los Angeles to San Jacinto in 2024. At first it was a bit difficult to adapt but eventually it became less of a struggle and now I thrive better.

I started to attend San Jacinto High coming from San Joaquin Memorial High in Fresno. When I got there, I felt a connection with many people. The teachers are great, they put you in a position to succeed despite all of the distractions that go on. I was the quarterback and lead my team to the division 2 playoffs last season. Overall, the school is great. I felt at home.

I'm not much for typing but I felt the need to leave a comment about SJHS. I LOVE the teachers here! They helped my daughter but weren't pushovers like so many schools have these days. She needed strictness yet caring and she got it. Great school.

My twins are graduating from San Jacinto High next June and I know they've had a quality education. We are actually located in Hemet, but my husband and I made arrangements to have them continue to go to SJHS. My sister's son goes to Hemet High, which we have learned is not as good as San Jacinto.
