Hiram W. Johnson High

Hiram W. Johnson High sits in a working-class pocket of South Sacramento, a part of the city with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel that's quite different from the shinier, newer suburbs to the north and east. Families here tend to be resilient and community-minded, and the school reflects that — it serves a largely Latino and Southeast Asian student population with a strong sense of cultural identity. For families committed to the neighborhood and looking for a school where their kids can grow within a diverse, urban environment, Johnson offers a grounded high school experience in the heart of Sacramento's south side.
