Tustin High School

What Tustin High School does

Tustin High School is a public high school located at 1171 El Camino Real, Tustin, California, serving students in grades 9-12. Founded in 1971, it operates as one of four comprehensive high schools within the Tustin Unified School District, alongside Arnold O. Beckman, Foothill, and Hillview. The school delivers college preparatory education, Career Technical Education pathways (including culinary arts and engineering), athletics, and student support services to students residing within its district attendance boundaries. As a publicly funded institution, no tuition is charged for standard enrollment; the school is part of a broader district portfolio that includes 16 elementary schools, two K-8 schools, four middle schools, Legacy Magnet Academy (6-12), Tustin Connect Online School (K-12), and Tustin Adult School.

The school's educational programs are delivered through a standard K-12 technology stack operated at the district level. Core platforms include the Aeries student information system for gradebook, attendance, and records management; Schoology as the learning management system; Google Classroom and Google Workspace for Education; Microsoft Office 365 for staff productivity; Illuminate Education for assessment and student progress tracking; and ParentSquare for family communication. Library services operate on Follett Destiny Discover with OverDrive SORA for digital reading. Securly provides classroom web filtering, Frontline Education handles substitute scheduling, the school website runs on Finalsite, and PeachJar distributes digital flyers. Clever provides single sign-on for educational apps.

Tustin High School operates as a government entity under California Education Code rather than a commercial enterprise, with no commercial revenue generation. Operational funding flows through the publicly governed Tustin Unified School District, sourced from state, federal, and local property tax revenues and supplemented by grants such as those from the California Department of Education (ASES/ELO-P) and First 5 Orange County. Leadership consists of Principal Heather Bojorquez and four Assistant Principals (Tom Giebe, Rick McKinley, Melissa Trout, Julio Lopez). The school maintains strategic partnerships with Tustin Toyota (Drive for Excellence program), Catalyst Kids and YMCA (after-school care), Regional Center of Orange County (special education), Vital Link (engineering competitions), First 5 Orange County (preschool), California Department of Education (ASES/ELO-P grants), and the Tustin Public Schools Foundation.
