San Ysidro High School is a co-educational public four-year (grade levels 9–12) high school located in San Diego, California. It was founded and established in 2002, and is part of the Sweetwater Union High School District. SYHS predominantly serves San Ysidro and other parts of San Diego with a student enrollment of 2,408. History San Ysidro High School was established in the summer of 2002, and was named after the community in which the institution predominantly serves, "San Ysidro, California." Prior to its establishment, the community did not have a high school in which the nearby K-8 educational district, the San Ysidro Elementary School District, could feed students into. This resulted in many middle school students transferring to different schools within the Sweetwater Union High School District, such as Southwest Senior High School. However, once the school opened, many students began enrolling in the school, as it was much closer compared to neighboring schools.
