Student Safety

We recognize the heightened concerns within our community regarding the immigration enforcement activity. Our priority is to continue providing a safe and nurturing environment for all of our students, regardless of immigration status and personal circumstances. Our Sweetwater Union High School District webpage has resources for those in need. Students can learn more about how to handle their concerns as well here.

Black History Month

February is declared Black History Month. In 1926 historian Carter G. Woodson started the celebration as a “Negro History Week” because he felt the impact of Black people in this country was being overlooked. It extended to a month in 1976 when President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month during the celebration of the United States Bicentennial. We take the time to honor the contributions and achievements made by the Black community. We encourage you to take the time to learn the impact African Americans have made in our community, our state, and our country during this month as well as throughout the year.
