This school has great academic program. Various A.P. classes are avalible, AVID, culture club,drama club, Europe Trips,FNL, CSF,Block L, FFA,and etc. Our school is one of top schools in California, and has a high avaerage GPA than all of the surrounding areas. We have a good art program and Studio Art. Our soccer team does EXCELLENT, along with our football and basketball team. Our volleyball team does well too but there isn't much team spirit for them. Team spirit is great for the others though. Our student counsel frequently put on rallies, dances,and etc. Our sports program wouldn't be much without Parent and teacher volenteering, but they give A LOT of there time for our benefit. Thank You. Our schoool not also recognizes academic talent and sports ability, but also achievements won in other outside events ( rodeo, FBLA,and more) We even have a wall dedicated to the people who achieve outside of school.
