It is located in the City of San Fernando in the San Fernando Valley region of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, in the US state of California. It is named after César Chávez.

Its design was based on historical California missions.^[2] The school campus is divided into four academies: Technology Prep Academy, ArTES, Social Justice Humanitas Academy, and San Fernando Academy of Scientific Exploration (ASE).

Athletics

The Eagles finished the 2016 football season with a record of 8-2 that gave them the home field advantage throughout their first two playoff games, advancing all the way to the city semi-finals, led by head coach Rodrigo Nuñez. In the 2016–2017 season the Eagles went undefeated against their rivals, Verdugo Hills High School and James Monroe High School; and their division one rivals, Arleta High.^[3]

In 2018, the junior varsity football team became the first undefeated team in the school's history.^[4]
