LOYAL

The CAC is committed and dedicated to the values and mission of Escondido High School. We value the friendships gained in high school and maintained with devotion after graduation. Our obligation to helping alumni maintain these relationships is a natural steadfastness for us and is fundamental to our mission.

STRONG

Since 1894, we have proved to be people of not only strength athletically and academically, but also people with strong character. We are honest and fair, show courage in standing up for our beliefs, and have a strong sense of responsibility for our community. We maintain self-respect for ourselves and those around us.

TRUE

Being true to yourself is a key virtue taught at EHS. This involves being devoted and vulnerable; but never naïve. We are firm in our allegiance to the school, its traditions, and to each other. We are not perfect, but to remain true to our character, we pursue the actions needed to improve our inner spirit and remain a Cougar at heart.

Located approximately 30 miles northeast of San Diego and 18 miles inland, Escondido is home to over 148,000 residents in a region that is double that size. With strong agricultural roots, this vibrant and diverse community’s economic base is made up of largely successful small businesses. The Escondido Union High School District prepares future generations for academic, personal, and social success. For over 130 years, Escondido High School has served the students of the region well. As the second oldest high school in the County of San Diego, and the largest of the three comprehensive high schools in the District, Escondido High School proudly serves more than 2,200 students in an environment that still holds true to the values of the rural past.
