}}Sweetwater Union High School (commonly known as SUHi) is a secondary school located in National City, California, United States. Established in 1920, it is one of the oldest high schools in San Diego County. Part of the Sweetwater Union High School District, SUHI predominantly serves the National City community with an enrollment of 2,422 students.[2]

In 2009, Sweetwater High School was named on Newsweek's list of the top 1,500 public high schools in the United States.[3] In 2016 it ranked 2065th on US News and World Report's list of best high schools.[4]

History

Built in 1882 near the present site of Central Elementary School at 9th Street and E Avenue, National School was the South Bay's first high school. National's successor, National City High School, was built in 1908 around that same location, where Central Elementary School now stands. To accommodate the growing population of high school students, Sweetwater Union High School was built in 1921 at 2900 Highland Avenue. The present day administration building was originally two-stories with the library upstairs.[5]

Thanks to Proposition O, the Sweetwater Union High School District was able to fund a remodel of SUHI's campus. This extensive upgrade, which incorporates some of the classic architecture in the new design, was completed in the summer of 2011.[6]
