Championship Summer
Why Clairemont High School is the Ultimate Destination
At Clairemont High School (CHS), we do not just manage facilities. We host world-class experiences. This summer proved exactly why our campus is a premier athletic hub in San Diego. Through powerful partnerships and thoughtful relationship building, we brought global sports icons directly to our neighborhood.
Welcoming Tennis Royalty Back to CHS
Welcoming Tennis Royalty Back to CHS
For the second consecutive year, world number two tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz and his organization chose Clairemont High School as their official San Diego summer camp site.
The Carlos Alcaraz Academy Camps were a sold-out success. This elite program introduces players to a demanding, structured training environment. It challenges how athletes think about the game. Whether supporting competitive goals or strengthening a personal connection to tennis, the impact extends far beyond a single week on the court. The Alcaraz team’s continued trust in our school highlights the professional quality of our tennis facilities.
A Stadium Full of Energy with Fernando Tatis Jr.
A Stadium Full of Energy with Fernando Tatis Jr.
No sooner had the tennis nets settled than our stadium exploded with energy. San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. took over the CHS stadium alongside 1,000 of his adoring fans.
It was an incredible day of athletics, teamwork, intensive training, and pure fun. Tatis was absolutely amazing with the youth participants. Every single attendee walked away with a massive smile—none bigger than the one on Fernando’s face!
Built for Greatness, Rooted in Community

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!
