Segerstrom High School is a public high school in Santa Ana, California, and is part of the Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD). The school opened in fall of 2005 with a freshman and sophomore class. Henry Segerstrom - for whom Segerstrom High School is named - is a familiar name in Orange County. The land upon which Segerstrom High School is built was purchased from the Segerstrom family who once grew crops on these acres.

During the fall of 2010, Principal Dr. Amy Avina shaved her hair off after promising to do so if the school received an API score above the 800 threshold. The API score received was 812, making Segerstrom the first high school in Santa Ana Unified School District to receive an API score above 800.
