Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! It is with great excitement and pride that I welcome all of you students, families, and staff back to Ontario High School. Whether you are returning for another year or stepping onto campus for the very first time, especially our incoming Class of 2029, we are honored to have you as part of our amazing Jaguar community.
We understand that many of our students will be experiencing Ontario High for the first time, and we are committed to making your transition smooth, supportive, and memorable. Our beautiful campus will be buzzing with energy as our incredible student leaders from Band, ASB, Cheer, Dance, Link Crew, and more are ready to greet you and help you feel at home as we kick off what promises to be another fantastic school year.

Parents and guardians, your partnership plays a critical role in your student’s growth and success. I strongly encourage you to get involved in the life of the school. Whether it’s participating in ELAC, School Site Council, Coffee with the Principal, or joining one of our many parent education classes, your involvement creates a meaningful connection between school and home.
If you are interested in joining any of our parent groups or learning more about how to get involved, please contact Ms. Jennifer McNatt, Assistant Principal of Student Achievement.
Together, we will continue to create a supportive and empowering environment where every Jaguar can thrive. I am excited and honored to lead this incredible community into a new year filled with learning, leadership, and legacy.
Let’s make 2025–2026 a year of excellence, pride, and Jaguar spirit. Go Jags!
