Message from the Principal
Dear Otay Ranch High School Mustangs,
As we approach the end of May, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This month is a time to honor the rich history, cultures, and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to our nation's identity.
Just a friendly reminder that we only have two and a half weeks remaining in the school year! With the upcoming four-day Memorial Day weekend, please note that Senior finals will be held on Tuesday, May 28th and Wednesday, May 29th. We encourage all seniors to do their best as they wrap up their high school days. I encourage all students to use the remaining time in the semester to focus on their studies and finish the year strong.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to a strong finish to the school year!
Go Big BLUE!
Sincerely,
Julio Alcalá
Principal, Otay Ranch High School
P.S. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram. There's always something happening at Otay Ranch!

Student Parking Registration
Mustangs,
To increase our efforts in ensuring the safety of our campus, we began issuing student parking permits at the ASB Finance windows (the ones that face the main office).
In order to get a parking permit, you will need to fill out the following registration form: Parking Permit Registration
(You must sign in with your Student Google Account)
After the form is completely filled out, you may come to the Finance windows and show your Valid Driver License. You will then be issued a parking permit that must be hung on your rear view mirror anytime you park on campus.
After a two week grace period, any car parked in student parking lots without a student parking permit will be subject to be being towed at the owner’s expense.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank you,
Mr. Tapia
