Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
We hope you have all had a great week! Ensuring that each student feels valued, welcomed, and respected on campus is paramount to our educational philosophy. One of the ways we attempt to build community and break down barriers is through Unity Days. Unity Days is a community building experience for all 10th grade students. Learning from the lived experiences of others helps us to build empathy and community. Please ask your 10th grader about their experience and what they learned.
The U.S. News & World Report recently released their annual list of best high schools in the nation. Steele Canyon is proud to be ranked as the best high comprehensive high school in east county! This distinction affirms and validates our work and we want to above all thank you for all that you do to make our school a great place to learn and work.
Labor Day is a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Have a happy Labor Day
Rah! Rah! Cougars!

Our PTO meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. in the Staff Lounge, with our next meeting right around the corner on September 5, 2023. Everyone is welcome to participate!
