Carnen De La Hunt: I want to thank the teacher's at sphs .My girls have recieved a quality education.They are both continuing their education in a private and uc system. With a new student starting in the fall. I am very proud to be an alumni and our children continuing in tradion to be part of a fine instution . So parents don't be afraid be involved in your childs education. I invite you to walk through the main building and look up on the wall see were our very talented ,intelligent students are headed to their educational journey. So many of our kids admitted to university of ca. schools some to private. Its so good to see that their hard work has paid off! kudos pedro high
