CHS Field Hockey Team (Fall 2025) was recognized as CIF State Academic Team Champions for maintaining the state's highest collective team grade-point average (3.88 on an un-weighted 4.0 scale) during the 2025-26 school year.
As we kick off the new school year, San Diego Unified is introducing a new learner-centered technology resolution to help students stay focused, healthy, and engaged in learning.
Beginning August 10, students will see a few important changes:
Video-streaming platforms, such as YouTube, will only be available on district-issued Chromebooks when enabled by teachers for instructional purposes.
Non-instructional gaming platforms will still be prohibited on district-issued devices.
Computer carts will be removed from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classrooms, while ensuring students with Individualized Education Plans, 504 Plans, or language-learning needs continue to receive appropriate access.
These updates are part of our commitment to creating learning environments where technology supports student learning, safety, wellness, and healthy development.
As a parent, you can also reduce screentime and non-instructional use of Chromebooks by activating your Blocksi Parent account to monitor and restrict access when your student is not at school. To learn more about how to use Blocksi, read this Blocksi Parent Job Aid.
To learn more about the new resolution click here and click here for the press release.
Every student must complete a registration form before participating in any before-school or after-school program on campus. Including Sports!

Though we have not yet decided on what "The Captain" mascot will look like (more to come and images to be shared for input in the Fall/Winter), you will see different variations of our new logos on publications such as the SWAG, CHS documents, and as we rebrand our campus. We are excited to introduce our brand which combines a compass design with the ocean sunset view we are fortunate to have from our campus. Additionally, the "Clairemont" font connects the high school to its community roots. Welcome to all our Clairemont High Captains!
