San Juan Hills High School is a high school located in San Juan Capistrano, California, and it is the sixth high school of the Capistrano Unified School District. The school officially opened in the 2007-2008 school year as a new comprehensive high school and it serves the residents of San Juan Capistrano, Capistrano Beach, and southern Ladera Ranch in Orange County, California.
SJHHS opened with Tony Ferruzzo as the principal in August 2007. He was excited to begin his job with the first school in his community and succeeded in getting this dynamic new school off to a great start. He announced his retirement on Friday, February 22, 2008, citing a desire to go in a different direction in his life. Ferruzzo served as principal for two-and-a-half years, starting the job two years before the school opened. The assistant principal, Shannon Soto, served as interim principal to complete the year. In the summer of 2008, Capistrano Unified School District appointed and transferred the experienced Tom Ressler, former principal of Capistrano Valley High School in the city of Mission Viejo, to serve as the new principal of SJHHS. Ressler was at CVHS for 22 years and was instrumental in helping to build a successful program at CVHS. He is expected to do the same at SJHHS and has been successful thus far.
