Southwest High School (SOH) is a public high school in San Diego, California, United States. It was established in 1975. It was built on the site of a small railroad yard owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad along the original San Diego–Tijuana line. It existed until the mid-1930s when the tracks were moved east to the present-day trolley tracks.
Part of Sweetwater Union High School District, it serves all socioeconomic communities of San Diego (specifically the Nestor community), as well as some students living in Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and San Ysidro. The school serves approximately 1,600 students.
