Siskiyou Union High School District

624 Everitt Memorial Highway
Mount Shasta, California 96067

The schools, while rather small by most standards today, offer a wide range of classes, including not only those required for University of California admissions, but numerous electives as well. Classrooms are well equipped. Regional Occupation Program classes are offered on each campus.  The district has within the last several years completed a $7 million modernization project at all sites, and is current with technology.

Standardized test scores in reading, mathematics and SAT are above state and national averages. This also holds true for the Writing Assessment. One school is a California Distinguished High School. All schools enjoy full-term Western Association of Schools and Colleges Accreditation.

In addition, a wide range of extra-curricular activities are available and approximately 70% of the students are involved. The schools, despite their small size, are competitive and tend to dominate their respective athletic leagues.

Student attitudes are upbeat and positive. There is little crime or vandalism and attendance is good. [More Details]

           

 

 

The Community

The community is as diverse as is Siskiyou County. Happy Camp, to the west, is dominated by the high Siskiyou Mountains to the north and the Marble Mountain Wilderness Area to the south. Between these mountains and through Happy Camp flows the Klamath River, widely acclaimed for its steelhead and salmon fishing and its rafting, kayaking and other outdoor recreational opportunities.

The schools in the southeastern part of the district, McCloud, Mount Shasta, Weed, and Jefferson, are in open valleys surrounded by coniferous forests and lofty, often snow-covered mountains. Dominating the entire landscape is Mount Shasta, a 14,162 foot strato-volcano, long known for its recreational opportunities and scenic beauty.

The City of Mount Shasta, the location of the district office, is a full-service community with medical, hospital, dental, optical and pharmaceutical services available locally. The Mount Shasta Ski Park, Lake Siskiyou and Castle Crags State Park are only minutes away.

A wide range of cultural activities are available through College of the Siskiyous, eight miles away in Weed, and in Ashland, Oregon, at Southern Oregon University and the Shakespearean Festival.
