Our History
Our History
Founded in 2022 as an extension of the first Diabetes Awareness Club at the Orange County School of the Arts in Santa Ana, California. Diabetes High has been dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and unity among teenagers in the diabetes community. No matter what language someone speaks, we want to reach them!
