History
Santiago High School was opened on September 5, 1995, in Corona, California. The school was located on South Main Street until its current campus on Foothill Parkway was built and opened in 1999 to accommodate a growing student population. The former South Main Street campus was later converted into Citrus Hills Intermediate School, which was established the same year.[4][5]
Performing arts
Santiago High School offers several acclaimed performing arts programs for students to participate in, some of which include a theater program, a choir program, an instrumental music program, and an AP Music Theory class.
Instrumental music program
Santiago is home to an award-winning instrumental music program known as the BOSS (Bands and Orchestras of Santiago Sharks). It consists of four large concert bands, 3 string orchestras, 3 jazz ensembles, a marching band and drumline, and a championship color guard.[6]
The BOSS is a three-time participant of the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, having marched in 2013, 2018, and 2024. The group also competes at several SCSBOA parade band reviews and band festivals each year. The BOSS won band sweepstakes at the Arcadia High School Festival of Bands during the 2024 SCSBOA parade band competition season.[7][8][9][10]
