School Overview
Yosemite Park High is a unique, small public high school located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park in El Portal, California. Part of the Mariposa County Unified School District, the school is designed to serve the families of park employees and residents of the surrounding remote mountain communities.

The curriculum is focused on providing a comprehensive high school education while navigating the logistical challenges of a remote setting. The school emphasizes core academic subjects necessary for graduation and college or career readiness, often utilizing digital resources and online platforms to supplement instruction. By operating within one of the world's most iconic natural landscapes, Yosemite Park High offers students a distinct educational experience that blends traditional academics with the unique culture and environmental context of the Yosemite region.
