Principal's Message
Welcome to Point Loma High School! We celebrate our 82nd year as an award winning school with a tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the visual and performing arts.
It is our mission to prepare our students academically for university work and the careers of the 21st century. With our dedicated staff, parents and community we continue to build a campus and classrooms that will provide opportunities for our students to reach well beyond the walls of the classroom. We continue to:
- Provide freshmen the opportunity to learn transition skills necessary for life in high school through freshman link and introductory wheel courses
- Create challenging academic courses which encourage excitement about learning and instill a desire for the pursuit of learning
- Incorporate personal connections to school for every student by providing extensive athletic, visual & performing arts programs, a myriad of club choices and supportive learning communities
- Build upon our parent and community involvement that supports students and enlarges their view of the world.
Through the wonderful help of the community we are nestled in the campus completed in the past year many noteworthy initiatives:
- Project S.C.A.P.E. completed the safety corridor of our campus bus drop off zone by widening the sidewalk and installing seating walls for pedestrian safety
- Project LightSpeed continued to focus on creating digital classrooms for technologically advanced delivery methods and incorporated 21st century learning strategies into 90% of the classrooms
- Thanks to community and alumni contributions our all weather track and softball field were completed and the renovation of the weight room and expansion of resources for equipment for all sports teams was begun
- The Music Center initiative began for the new band facilities and upgrades to our Performing Arts Center… both incredible and growing programs at PLHS.
Point Loma High School is the school it is today because of incredible community support who give generously in time, talents and donations; dedicated teachers committed to high academic standards; and inspiring students who willingly connect to their school and their community. "Once a Pointer Always a Pointer" is as true today as it was 82 years ago!
Welcome to our community! Take time to peruse our website and please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.
With best wishes,
Bobbie Samilson
