Christian High School is a private Christian TK-12 school in El Cajon, California, United States. It is part of the Christian Unified Schools of San Diego. It offers a college preparatory education, with the goal to "prepare students who are academically and spiritually prepared to be a light in their community and who understand the nature of God, His Word, and the importance of impacting the world for Christ." Christian High was founded by Dr. Timothy and Beverly LaHaye in 1965.

In the first year, 1965–66, the school included grades 9-11. The school's principal was Guy East, a missionary with Wycliffe bible translators who was from Scott Memorial Baptist Church, the sponsoring church. He was in the country while on furlough. The principal from 1966 to 1972 was Pete Steveson. During that period, grades 7-8 and 12 were added. The first graduating class in 1967 included sixteen seniors. In those early years, the school grew from 32 to 330 students. The school began to participate in interscholastic sports with other schools in the area. Over that time, the school added football, basketball, track, baseball, and cross country.

Sports

Students compete within the CIF league in 18 sports. Current sports include:

  • Boys': football, cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, track, golf, tennis, swim, wrestling, volleyball
  • Girls': volleyball, tennis, cross country, soccer, basketball, softball, track, golf, and swim

Controversy

Former Christian High School teacher Dustin Sniff was arrested in 2019 on multiple counts of sex crimes against minors. Two of the six known victims were students at Christian High School while Sniff was employed there. The victims' ages ranged from 16 to 22, and the incidences spanned from 2007 through 2017. San Diego Sheriff's Lt. Chad Boudreau said that none of the crimes had occurred on campus. In 2022, Sniff was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison.
