School description and mission statement

Tustin High School (THS) is the cornerstone of tradition and excellence in education in the City of Tustin and Orange County. As one of three comprehensive high schools in the Tustin Unified School District, THS will celebrate its eighty-fourth year of service in the Tustin community. Past Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) reviews show that THS has an honored history of success for students. For the past twelve years, THS has earned two, 6-year accreditations with a midterm review. Because of its rich traditions, THS has seen many second and third generation students graduate as well as graduates who return as faculty members. THS’s commitment to a rigorous academic environment and a standards-based curriculum in all courses has helped THS’s students achieve Expected School-wide Learning Results.

Upon graduation, THS students will be:

• effective communicators
• independent seekers and users of knowledge
• productive members of a democratic society
• academic achievers
