Palomar High School in Chula Vista is the sole continuation high school within the Sweetwater Union High School District, serving students on Palomar Street since 1980. WASC accreditation and a 2026 Model Continuation High School designation from the California Department of Education validate the credit-recovery and diploma-completion model, which channels graduates toward further training at Chula Vista Adult School and workforce programs. Enrollment of approximately 269 students in grades 11 and 12 allows for a student-to-teacher ratio near 13:1, giving counselors capacity to build individualized academic plans for each enrollee. The SUHSD year-round calendar at Palomar accelerates credit accumulation for students aiming to transfer into Southwestern College or enter career-technical pathways in health, trades, or public service. The campus operates under Title I Schoolwide eligibility with an average class size under 20 students per section, maintaining structured extracurricular clubs alongside the core instructional program.
