Encina currently offers a 7 period modified block schedule which includes an Advocacy class daily. Encina High School opened its doors September 2, 1958, welcoming freshmen and sophomore classes and graduated their first class in the spring of 1961. Students were asked for their input on school colors and mascot and choose Cardinal Red and Gold and the Apaches. During the 1989–1990 school year, the San Juan Unified School District requested that Encina change their mascot from an Apache to something more culturally sensitive, and so the class of 1991 were the very first Encina Bulldogs. In 1995 Encina garnered national attention when a riot broke out after on campus police officers used pepper spray and batons against students in the cafeteria. Students involved in the incident insisted that it was the overreaction of law enforcement to an argument between two youths that led to six students being arrested and nine others being sent to the hospital to be treated for bruises and adverse reactions to inhaling pepper spray.While plagued with isolated acts of violence in previous years, there have been no major disturbances on campus during the past decade. Encina is known for its rich basketball tradition and every year since 2000 a fundraiser basketball game is played between the alumni and current students which raises thousands of dollars that go towards improving student programs for the kids. Located in the heart of Arden, the campus is just one mile east of Arden Fair Mall.
