Principal’s Message

Dear Otay Ranch High School Community,

It is with great excitement and Mustang pride that I welcome you to a brand new school year at Otay Ranch High School! Whether you are a returning student, or a new face on campus, we are excited to begin this journey together.

A new academic year brings with it a fresh start — a time full of promise, possibility, and purpose. Each one of us has the opportunity to make the most of our time, talents, and relationships. Let’s embrace this year as a chance to grow, learn, and lead with purpose. Greatness lives in the small choices we make every day, and together, we can make this our best year yet.

At Otay Ranch, we are guided by our core values of Belonging, Learning, Unity, and Empathy — the heart of what makes our school a community where everyone has a place, every voice matters, and every moment is an opportunity to learn and support one another. As we move through this year, let’s commit to living these values at The Ranch.

Let’s uplift one another. Let’s challenge ourselves to grow. Let’s build a school culture we are proud of — one that reflects who we are and what we stand for.

Here’s to a great year ahead!

Respectfully,

Julio Alcalá
Principal, Otay Ranch High School
