San Juan College High School (SJCHS) is an FMS High School located on the campus of San Juan College, in Farmington, NM. Students have the opportunity to graduate with an associate's degree from San Juan College while concurrently receiving a high school diploma from Farmington Municipal Schools. SJCHS was established through a unique partnership between Aztec Municipal Schools, Bloomfield Independent Schools, Central Consolidated School, Farmington Municipal Schools, and San Juan College in order to serve students from four different school districts. After two years of strategic planning, the school opened in the fall of 2016 with an initial cohort of eighty students.    

Each year San Juan College High School enrolls a cohort of incoming freshmen to our school through a student application process. SJCHS will provide information sessions that are available to students and parents in January of the application year. All prospective students and their parents are encouraged to attend to have the opportunity to ask questions and ensure that SJCHS is the best match for their child's high school education. Once the application window has closed, SJCHS will conduct a confidential lottery process to select incoming students from San Juan County. Any student interested in joining our next cohort should consider applying.

The SJCHS application for the Class of 2028 will open in February 2024.

A typical school day for SJCHS students involves attendance in challenging, but supportive career and technical courses aligned to students’ academic and career goals. There are multiple curriculum pathways offered to students in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Medical Sciences, Business, Education, and Health Occupations just to mention a few. Additionally, students attending SJCHS devise a flexible schedule that helps facilitate each student’s individualized academic plan to attend both high school as well as dual credit college courses.

A student’s academic studies are delivered in a variety of blended learning environments such as online courses, on-site campus classes, labs, and work-based learning experiences. Academic supports and advising will be embedded into the student’s day to ensure he/she is on track with their academic progress.

Within their four years of education, SJCHS makes it possible for students to achieve their high school diploma along with an SJC associate degree, which makes SJCHS one degree different than a traditional high school experience, and it’s free of charge!

At SJCHS students will experience an academic environment in a small, active learning community, which includes connections to learning opportunities outside the classroom through industry related internships, online learning, and independent projects as well as participation in dual credit enrollment.

SJCHS will graduate students from high school with an Associate's degree, equip them for success in higher education or the workforce, and grow them into contributing members of society through a comprehensive college and career readiness program while celebrating diversity.

San Juan College High School students will navigate their four years of coursework through a safe, supportive, and collaborative educational environment to prepare them to be life-long learners.

Soaring to excellence!
