INVEST IN WELLNESS!
Building Community Wellness at San Marcos High School
This bold initiative empowers the entire San Marcos community to expand healthcare education, enhance student wellness, and build a brighter future. Please join in this revolutionary endeavor.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
NOW, MORE THAN EVER, schools must support students with both their academic development and their wellbeing. Schools must prepare students to be both college and career ready, while providing students with the tools and resources to care for their mental health in an increasingly disrupted world.
Building Community Wellness is the $11 Million Capital Campaign to build a brand new Health Careers Academy (HCA) building and upgrade the current San Marcos High School Wellness Center, expanding the school-based mental health services offered at San Marcos High School. The Building Community Wellness Campaign aims to secure approximately $5 million in philanthropic support for the project, as the Santa Barbara Unified School District has already pledged $5.5 million in bond funds to the build and $674,000 in grant funds for equipment.

"I am here to tell you that we are going to make this happen, that it will profoundly transform our school, and that our kids and community will be better off because of what we will accomplish."
