Point Loma High School hosted dignitaries from Portugal to observe and celebrate our Portuguese Language Program.

Point Loma is the only public school in southern California to offer Portuguese. It is the result of years of collaborating with the Portuguese Historical Society and the school district.
PLHS is proud of our history and our future work with outside agencies.
