School Overview
Sequoia High School, located at 1900 G St. in Merced, California, serves as the educational hub for the Merced Union High School District’s (MUHSD) alternative and specialized programs. Operating under the umbrella of the district’s Educational Options initiative, the school is designed to provide flexible, supportive learning environments for students who may benefit from non-traditional pathways to graduation. The campus is dedicated to credit recovery, vocational preparedness, and academic success for students who require a more individualized approach than what is offered in the district's comprehensive high schools.

The school’s mission emphasizes fostering a personalized educational experience that prepares students for post-secondary success, whether that includes entering the workforce, enrolling in trade schools, or pursuing higher education. By utilizing a smaller, focused learning community, Sequoia High helps students overcome academic obstacles and remain on track to earn their diplomas. Through the resources provided at this site, students have access to tailored curriculum and instructional support that addresses their unique academic needs within the broader framework of the MUHSD.
