About Us
The Public Safety Academy began in 2011 as a non-profit co-ed public high school program for students in 10th-12th grade and added the 9th grade in 2014. PSA is a four-year full-time commitment for students interested in preparing for college and/or a career in law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical services (prehospital care). PSA is funded through the California Department of Education's California Partnership Academies grant and adheres to the "school-within-a-school" model.
