What Pacifica High School does

Pacifica High School is a public comprehensive high school located at 600 E. Gonzales Road in Oxnard, California, operating since August 28, 2001 as one of twelve schools within the Oxnard Union High School District. The school serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 2,562 students in the 2025-26 school year and is led by Principal Chris Ramirez and three assistant principals. Educational delivery is structured around core academic departments (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, World Language, Visual Arts, Physical Education, Special Education), four themed academy programs (CODE Academy focused on cybersecurity and technology, Culinary Arts Academy, Health Science Academy, and Teaching & Educational Careers Academy), and six career pathways (Business, Robotics, Video & Film, Mariachi, Commercial Photography, Education & Social Services), all designed to meet UC A-G requirements with 230 credits required for graduation.

The school operates on a public-funding revenue model, with no tuition charged; income is channeled through state per-pupil allocations, local property taxes via the district, federal Title programs, and categorical funding. Marginal revenue is generated from optional student purchases including yearbooks ($75 standard, $100 senior package), graduation merchandise through Jostens, spirit items via the PHS Webstore, and small fundraising programs (marquee birthday greetings at $5-$20, Krispy Kreme fundraisers). Free breakfast and lunch are provided to all students under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Technology infrastructure is built on commodity EdTech platforms: Edupoint StudentVUE/ParentVUE for student information, ParentSquare for school-to-home communication, and Finalsite for web presence.

Supporting services include a counseling department with alpha-assigned counselors, a Wellness Center for social-emotional support, a health office with nurse and health technician, nutrition services, and a special education program with English Language Development support. The school offers 16 CIF-SS Channel League athletic programs and over 40 student clubs and organizations. It holds full WASC accreditation (most recently renewed for 6 years in 2024) and maintains compliance with Title IX. Marketing and enrollment outreach run through the school website, social media channels, ParentSquare notifications, OLE Nights for incoming freshmen, and an annual Open House.
