In conjunction with UCSD Health, and in partnership with City of Chula Vista, City of Imperial Beach, City of National City, National City Fire Department, San Diego City Councilmember Vivian Moreno, and Mayor of National City Alejandra Sotelo-Solis, the Sweetwater District was able to provide vaccination centers at nine SUHSD schools for ALL SUHSD students, families, staff, and community members. This collaborative effort allowed our district to administer more than 2,630 vaccines throughout South County, bringing us one step closer to welcoming all students back to school in-person in July! Thank you to all involved!

In collaboration with the Chula Vista Fire Department, ELM served as a vaccination site and excitedly administered vaccines to students, staff, and community on Friday, May 14th. This allowed over 500 students to be served with their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

On Tuesday, May 18th, UCSD Health was able to vaccinate 534 people at Montgomery High School, most of whom were our students at MOH and MOM. Thank you to the UCSD Staff, MOH Teachers, and staff for accommodating our guests and families during the vaccination event and allowing us to come one step closer to welcoming all students back to our campus in July.

We congratulate all the students who participated in this year’s 12th Annual SUHSD Digital Media Showcase. The award-winning productions can be viewed below.

Please enjoy the Digital Design, Music, Photography and Video entries. Each SUHSD student participant persevered, working from home with limited access to technology and less instructional time. Despite these challenges, the work submitted was stellar.

We would like to thank the artists, dedicated teachers and judges, Mr. Jeff Kover, Steve Exum, Daniel Solomon and all who helped put this showcase together.

Recently, Montgomery Middle School celebrated their "Students of the Month" with yard signs and swag bags! Students also had the opportunity to pick-up the 2020-2021 Mayan Yearbook! This years theme was Mayan Connections. Although students primarily learned at a distance, Montgomery Middle was dedicated to building connections between students and teachers. These connections are clearly shown throughout this years yearbook with school-wide teams, advisory families, virtual school events, and much more! The goal is for students to know and feel they are connected to Montgomery Middle School whether near or far.

Over a decade after graduating San Ysidro High, Alumna Julissa Muniz, is still giving back to her community providing scholarships. Ultimate service to students within the community that had an impact on her life and educational journey. Thank you for paving the way for other first generation college students and removing their financial situation as a reason to not pursue higher education.
