Santa Cruz has more Connections & more Diversity
As a public school, Santa Cruz is built on the belief that not only are all welcome, but that a diversity of perspectives and experiences drives broader and faster development for all students.
Developing minds need variety - they need each other. When a class isn't curated, students have a greater connection to their community and society.

And starting this year, we're raising the ceiling on our High School leaders: giving them seats on the District Board, where they may serve as Student Trustees.
