Soquel High School (SHS) was established in 1962 to serve the
outlying areas of the Santa Cruz City Schools District (SCCS). Soquel
High School, one of seven high schools in Santa Cruz County, is the
largest of the three comprehensive high schools in the SCCS district,
with a student population of 1,210.
Soquel High School is located in the Village of Soquel, an
unincorporated residential community of Santa Cruz County. We serve
students who live in the residential communities of Live Oak, Capitola,
Soquel, and other surrounding areas. Parents in these communities
are active participants in their students’ education, and are extremely
supportive in giving their financial support and volunteer time.
Situated near the center of the county, the forty-acre campus provides
a beautiful setting overlooking the Monterey Bay. SHS annually
sends 95% of its surveyed seniors to college. The Advanced
