ACADEMICS

Sac High offers the best of two worlds - the support and personalization of a small school combined with the advantages of a large school. Organized into four theme-based small schools, Sac High is focused on preparing every student for college and the world beyond. School culture as well as academic and behavior expectations are consistent across the small schools and students have access to campus-wide resources including tutoring, leadership and enrichment opportunities, athletics, arts, and student activities.
