Selma High School (SHS) is a public high school located in the city of Selma, California, United States. It is part of the Selma Unified School District.
The Selma Unified superintendent is Edward Gomes and the Selma High principal is Nathan Lane.
The Selma High football program is one of the longest-tenured football programs in the Central Valley, with the inaugural season in 1894. Selma won its first section championship in 1909, defeating Sanger 19-0, and its second section championship in 1915. Selma’s third section title came in 1954 when they won the Sequoia-Valley title. In 1980 Selma won a Sequoia-Sierra valley title behind the arm of eventual San Diego State University quarterback Todd Santos, for their fourth title in school history.
In the mid-1990s Dean Cardoza took over the program and held that post until stepping down after the 2004 season. Under Cardoza Selma had limited success and he ended his career with a 13-game losing streak. Selma was then able to hire former Hanford West High School head coach Justin Fowler in March 2005. After two winless seasons, Fowler in his third season ended Selma's 34-game losing streak and helped the Bears clinch a berth in the playoffs. Fowler stayed with the program before abruptly leaving for the head coaching position at Mt. Whitney High School in Visalia in the summer of 2009.
Succeeding Fowler was Mike Crews, who previously left Ridgeview High School in Bakersfield. Crews compiled a 22-31 record while leading Selma to its first home playoff win since 1980 in the fall of 2010. He resigned at the end of the 2014 season. Following Crews’ departure the Bears went after former Sanger High School defensive coordinator Matt Logue. An All American linebacker at Sacramento State, Logue brought stingy defense and tough running offense to Selma. During the 2016 season the Bears held an undefeated 13-0 record and won their fifth CIF Central Section Valley championship (Division 4). In 2019 Logue and the Bears played the whole season on the road, due to Staley Stadium renovation, and capped off their season at 11-3 while winning Selma's sixth Central Section title (Division 4). Following the 2021 season Logue left Selma to return to Sanger High.
In March 2022 Selma announced former Washington Union head coach Art Francis as its new head coach.
Selma High School competes in the Central Section of the California Interscholastic Federation as a member of the Tri-County Athletic Conference.
