San Marcos High School 2.0 was officially opened in January 2014 and features massive changes from both the original San Marcos High School, and even every other school in the area. The school is massive and features technologically innovative classrooms across all curriculum and beautiful innovative learning environments in each of the three main buildings. The school was state of the art with each classroom featuring technology to support the school's focus of integrating technology in the hands of students and teachers alike. The school's goal as far as enrollment and teacher numbers follows the focus that each classroom will eventually go through a day without being vacant for a teacher prep.
