Taft has been a recognized part of the Serra Mesa community since its inception in 1962. The Serra Mesa area comprises an ethnically diverse mix of working-class and middle-class families, ranging from professionals and military personnel to retired citizens. Our student population mirrors the demographics of this area and of all San Diego. More than half of our students reside in Serra Mesa. Another one-third live in East San Diego and attend Taft through the voluntary enrollment program (VEEP). Others attend via the School Choice program.
