News and Announcements

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 26, 2025. To ensure a smooth start, Yorba Linda High School has scheduled Back to School Days from August 11–15. These sessions help students complete all required tasks before the school year begins. For more details, please click the link. Have a great summer Mustangs!

Studies show that if students have every day essentials, they are more
likely to come to school and thrive. The Mustang Locker was created to provide students with the basic necessities to be successful at school and in the community. We currently offer gently used clothing items, shoes, health and hygiene items.  If there is anything students need from their YL family, we are here to support them in any way we can.

Students have an option to visit the Mustang Locker to grab what they need, by appointment or they can place an order using the Google form, and the items needed will be waiting for them in the attendance office for pick up.  The Locker will also be open on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. to stop in and shop. 

If you happen to be cleaning out your closets, we are always accepting donations to help replenish the Mustang Locker. Donations can be dropped at the front office anytime between 7:30 and 4:00. If you are interested in making a monetary donation, please reach out to Ms. Petz ([email protected]) or Ms. Fritz ([email protected])
