Diversity. Empathy. Achievement.

HSHMC goes beyond the typical high school experience. It's a place where students engage in real-world opportunities, earn college credits, and receive dedicated support from a committed staff.

Health Sciences High and Middle College is so much more than your average high school.

Our school prepares students for the future, giving them firsthand experience ensuring they are prepared for all aspects of life, not just a test.

Our students graduate with more college credits than entire school districts in San Diego County, because we know what matters most.

The internship programs we offer give students firsthand experience working in the medical field as well as with local fire departments.

By partnering with stellar organizations like Sharp HealthCare and the San Diego Fire Department, we give students more than just a foot in the door – we give them a glimpse into a bright future.

Students graduate at a high rate because of our dedication to academics, and ensuring each student leaves our school prepared.

Calling it the best school doesn’t even feel strong enough, because there’s so much opportunity and you actually have a choice in what you want to do, unlike other high schools. I always wanted to become a heart surgeon, and HSHMC helped me achieve that dream. The staff are always there to help you out no matter what. It seems cliche but they made going to school something I looked forward to.

I LOVE HSHMC. Their education system is based on actually caring about the future of their students. They gave me the opportunity to learn instead of just memorizing for a grade, by supporting and guiding me to stay on the path to success. Gaining collegiate credits helped me and my family with college tuition payments which is something I will always be thankful for.

I feel like here I had the opportunity many of my friends didn’t have. It’s hard to explain but the community and culture they build is so unique and something I will always miss. I loved my four years there not only because of the thousands of memories but how much they prepared me for where I am now in life.
