ABOUT US
HISTORY
Adult education started in San Francisco, California in 1856. The Sweetwater Union High School District’s Division of Adult Education (SUHSD Adult Ed) began in 1933 as the Sweetwater Evening School for Adults. Our humble beginnings started as one English class at night on the campus of Sweetwater High School in National City, CA .
In 2015, SUHSD Adult Ed became a member of the South Bay Adult Education Consortium to implement regional plans for adult education. Our members include the Department of Continuing Education at Southwestern College and Coronado Adult Education. We work with workforce and education partners and community stakeholders to ensure adult students are prepared for life, for work, and to support their families and strengthen communities, no matter where they are in their educational journey.
Currently, our division has four adult schools serving the cities of Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach, San Ysidro and the rest of the South Bay in the county of San Diego, California.
