The San Diego Unified School Board has voted unanimously to change the name of Junipero Serra High School to Canyon Hills High School.
The decision follows a petition campaign for a name change. They said the school being named after Father Junipero Serra, the founder of California’s mission system including the first one in 1769, the
San Diego Mission, is offensive to indigenous peoples whose ancestors were subjected to its doctrine. The San Diego Unified School Board also voted to change the high school’s mascot from a conquistador to a rattlesnake, or a “Rattler.”
