The Sherman Heights Neighborhood Cultural Council (SHNCC) 

The SHNCC was founded in 2001 under the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Share Your Heritage program to promote what is unique and authentic in the Sherman Heights Historic District. Under encouragement from the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, SHNCC members and supporters include residents, business owners, artists, and others who care about what is special about our neighborhood. The SHNCC promotes “Sherman Heights: the Victorian Neighborhood with Latino flavor – An Unexpected Cultural Mix!” Sherman Heights was chosen to participate in the Share Your Heritage program to promote cultural heritage tourism to visitors (both San Diego residents and tourists) so they might experience the Sherman Heights Historic District.
