Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day to the incredible team at San Diego High School! 🎉
These aren't just folks with mops and keys; they are the unsung heroes who keep our campus running and looking its best every single day. From sparkling classrooms to well-maintained hallways, our custodians do so much more than clean—they create a safe, welcoming, and healthy environment where our students can thrive.
They are often the first to arrive and the last to leave, tackling everything from unexpected spills to major repairs, always with a positive attitude.
Thank you, SDHS Custodial Team, for all your hard work, dedication, and for being the backbone of our school! We see you, and we appreciate you!
Drop a ❤️ or a "Thank you" in the comments to show our custodians some love! 👇

✂️ NEW Shaving Policy Reminder ✂️
Beginning Monday, September 29, 2025, San Diego ISD will no longer provide razors for students to shave on campus.
🚨 What this means:
Students must arrive at school in compliance with the district dress code regarding facial hair and grooming.
Students who are not in compliance will be assigned to ISS until the issue is resolved.
Parents may choose to take their student home to shave and return to avoid ISS placement.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritize student safety, hygiene, and personal responsibility. Thank you for partnering with us to help all Vaqueros meet dress code expectations! 💙💛
