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.
​Mission Statement
The Public Safety Academy collaborates with our community and business partners to provide academic and industry opportunities which prepare students for success in life and in public safety.

Advisory Committee

Business partners and sponsors oversee the Public Safety Academy through curriculum and training development, hosting field trips, and providing mentors, internships, and guest speakers, as well as financial accountability. We appreciate their time and dedication to our students and academy.
