South Hills High School West Covina

At South Hills, we show what we know with a strong focus on instruction, school culture, and a thriving participation in extracurricular activities. We provide a relevant, high quality education that inspires our diverse student body to be prepared for college or career opportunities in a global society. Consequently, our staff is committed to providing all students with necessary skills and knowledge to become lifelong learners, effective communicators, and responsible and productive citizens.

Our retrofitted campus is located in a suburban community on the eastern fringe of Los Angeles County. With panoramic views from Mount Wilson to Mount Baldy, South Hills High School (SHHS) serves the municipalities of Covina, West Covina, San Dimas, and Walnut. Community housing is mixed in this quiet residential area with mid-ranged priced homes located to the north, high-ranged priced homes to the south, and several subsidized apartment complexes within the schools boundaries. We are situated in an ideal location with numerous community colleges and public and private universities nearby.

The campus opened in 1964 on thirty-three acres of land in West Covina, California, joining two other comprehensive high schools, and eventually one continuation high school to form Covina-Valley Unified School District (C-VUSD). Collectively, the district serves three middle schools, twelve elementary schools, an adult transition program, a trade tech academy, and Vincent Childrens Center, which houses three programs: Special Education preschool classes, a General Child Care Program, and County Special Education classes. The total student population for C-VUSD is approximately 10,000.
