Pacific Coast High School (PCHS) is a public alternative high school in Tustin, California.
Pacific Coast High School was opened in 1995 and awarded full accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in 2002. Recently, English, History/Social Science, Visual and Performing Arts, some Math, Foreign Languages and Sciences courses were UC approved. Pacific Coast High School is unique in that it offers most of its courses through the Internet, from English and Mathematics to Physical Education. A wide spectrum of students attend Pacific Coast High School, from those needing basic instruction to students that wish to get a jump start on their college education. Many students begin taking community college classes before graduation. Pacific Coast High School had a partnership with Coastline Community College's Distance Learning Department, but due to the budget crisis it is currently suspended. Other students choose PCHS because of their busy schedules. Some are highly involved in sports, dance, or music and this school gives them the freedom to work from anywhere through the Internet. Pacific Coast High School has a traditional school year, but offers select classes during the summer. Other classes include Art Exploration, Biology, many different types of language classes, Health, World and US History, Drama, Speed Reading, Note Taking, Yearbook and Vocational Exploration.
Pacific Coast High School's Environmental Awareness Club placed first in the first Edison Challenge, a competition created by Southern California Edison and USC to improve environmental awareness and environmental health.
For the 2007-08 Orange County Mock Trial Season, Pacific Coast High fielded two teams. PCHS Blue went on to the 5th round with a 3-1 record.
