San Jacinto High School is the only comprehensive high school servicing San Jacinto, California. We are one hundred percent free lunch and approximately nineteen percent of our citizens live below the poverty line.

Toni Morrison's, "Song of Solomon" will set the groundwork for a project and presentation about individuality and personal identity to be completed by my eleventh grade students.
