Facilities Use / Rentals
San Dieguito Union High School District facilities exist primarily to serve students and District programs. When space is available, SDUHSD may permit community use in accordance with Board Policy, administrative regulations, safety requirements, and operational capacity.
SDUHSD uses an online facility-use system, Facilitron, to manage requests, documentation, insurance, and payments for the use of District facilities. The information below is intended for community organizations, non-profit groups, and other external users seeking to request District facilities outside of the instructional day.
While requests are submitted through Facilitron, all decisions regarding approval, scheduling, and use of facilities are made by SDUHSD staff in alignment with board policies and District priorities. The District’s administrative staff will continue to make final decisions on all facility use requests.
Users are encouraged to review the information on this site carefully before submitting a request, as it outlines key requirements, timelines, and responsibilities associated with facility use.
