Description
San Juan Union High School is located at 7551 Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights, California. Founded in 1913, it stands as Sacramento County’s second oldest high school behind that of Sacramento High School, established in 1856. The school’s namesake was the Rancho San Juan Land Grant, a 20,000-acre swath of land, granted to Joel Dedmond in 1844 by then Mexican Governor Manual Mitcheltorena. Crafted into a Mission-style masterpiece and set on 10-acres of land donated by Walter Trainor, San Juan started with 46 pupils, 41 of whom were freshmen, and served all students living east of Fulton Avenue, south of the Placer County line and north of the American River. As of 2004, and after 90-years of proud existence, San Juan – nicknamed, the Spartans – had graduated an impressive 22,000 students.
