[edit] Student Body
The school's student body is largely homogeneous and reflects the overwhelmingly Latino ethnic makeup of the surrounding community. It is composed of roughly 93% Hispanic, 5% Asian, 2% Caucasian, and includes 14 different languages spoken.
The school is also home to many clubs and organizations such as the Academic Decathlon, MESA (Math, Engineering, and Science), a Model United Nations program, Mock Trial, Junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleading teams, a Marching, Concert, & Jazz Band, Color Guard and Drum Line groups, Orchestra musicians, Women's Chorus and Chamber Singers, and TEACH & e-Business Academies, all which have won district, county, state, and nationwide competitions.
[edit] Name
The school's name, which was chosen in a contest among Santa Ana high school students in 1989, reflects the fact that it was founded in 1989, one hundred years after the founding of the city of Santa Ana.
