Sweetwater Union High School District (SUSHD) schools serve approximately 39,000 students in grades 7–12 and 29,981 adult learners in the south San Diego county communities of Bonita, Chula Vista, Eastlake, Imperial Beach, National City, Otay Mesa, South San Diego and San Ysidro. It is the largest secondary (grades 7–12) school system in California.

Founded in 1920, the district has grown to encompass 10 middle schools, one junior high, 12 senior high schools, one continuation high school, 4 adult schools, and an alternative program for grades 7–12. To help keep pace with unprecedented growth, SUHSD opened Otay Ranch High and Eastlake Middle School in July 2003. In addition, plans are on the drawing board for 3 new schools in the next decade: a high school and 2 middle schools.

Sweetwater prides itself on the cultural, linguistic and economic diversity of its students. Some 84 percent of SUHSD students come from ethnically diversity backgrounds. One of every 2 students speaks a language other than English at home and about 27% are limited-English proficient.

The Sweetwater Education Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization of concerned community parents and leaders dedicated to providing financial help to students in the Compact for Success program. Working in partnership with Sweetwater Union High School District and San Diego State University, the Sweetwater Education Foundation believes that no barrier should come between a Compact for Success student and a college education. The Foundation is committed to the promise of financial support to ensure that Compact for Success students can realize their full potential as informed, caring and responsible adults.

"Compact students and their families are succeeding and keeping their promise of achievement. The SEF, and the entire community, continue to raise funds and provide scholarships to help turn dreams of a college education into a reality."
– Edward Lopez, Executive Director

Navigate the school system
Collaborate with teachers, counselors and principals
Encourage college attendance
Support a child's emotional and social development

The PIQE course is offered in morning sessions and repeated in the evening. Parents choose to when they can come. It is taught by credential teachers who are trained by PIQE. The initial planning session asks parents what they would like to include in the course.
