We also have a ton of opportunities for parents to be involved as well. Please click here to learn more about our wonderful PTSA. In addition, we also have a booster club which is looking for parent volunteers to support our athletic teams.

Daly City Mural
Jefferson High School PTSA President Victoria Magbilang had a vision to boost the arts scene in Daly City. With the support of Dragonfly Community Arts, a foundation that offers free arts education in San Mateo County, Jefferson High School GrizzArts program, advised by teacher Suzanne Koehnlein, helped bring this idea to life.
In turn, Dragonfly Community Arts hired Bay Area Mural Program (BAMP), a nonprofit organization of mural artists dedicated to creating inspiring public art, to work with our JHS students. BAMP led several workshops with GrizzArts to collaboratively design a mural to pay homage to our city.
After approaching several potential mural sites, the team got an agreement from Daly City Mitsubishi and the owner of its building to host the amazing artwork, and execution of the “Greetings from Daly City” mural began in early June, with students assisting BAMP artists with the painting.
Thank you to everyone who worked together to create a new landmark in Daly City.
Here is a quick video of the project.
It looks amazing! Go Grizzlies!!!
