It's a constant theme within our school culture and daily mantra of what it means to be a good buccaneer.

Teachers are excellent, caring and community oriented. The STEAM program is excellent and gives kids the opportunity to think critically and develop the skills necessary to become a responsible global citizen. The AVID program exposes kids early on to a variety of 4 year universities and promotes a school-wide college going culture. SOM also recently received the 2015 CA Gold Ribbon award and a Title 1 academic achievement award for their excellent programs. Only 4% of CA schools can claim such high accolades.
