Principal's Message

Welcome to Sunnyside High School, where every student has the potential to succeed. As your principal, I am committed to ensuring that each student feels supported, valued, and prepared for their future.

Being part of Sunnyside, with its rich cultural heritage and strong agricultural roots, is a privilege. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being a predominantly Hispanic, rural community, and we’re dedicated to helping our students thrive both academically and personally.

As a former high school English teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and respect—values that we embrace here at Sunnyside. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or in life, I believe in empowering our students to be the best versions of themselves.

Together, we’ll continue to build a school environment where every student is career, college, and life ready. Thank you for being part of our Grizzly family.

Warm regards,

Gabe Darbyson
Principal, Sunnyside High School
