Our Impact
Enduring and Moving Forward, Together
Together, no matter what, we keep moving forward with optimism and the unwavering belief that every student’s future is bright.
Highlights of our Impact during COVID
From distributing over 500,000 grab-and-go meals to families and community members, providing a Chromebook and technology support to every student
(3,600+), supporting students and families with over 1 million counseling minutes, and so much more, we did all we could to help our students, families, staff, and
communities during an incredibly difficult time.
The success of our robust distance learning program is due to the dedication and commitment of our people. Our teachers put their all into adapting their instructional approach to
meet all students’ needs.
Family Support
“Âéw¶¹´«Ã½ isn't just a place where my son learns. It is a family that has helped us in the most devastating time."
Impact Numbers

All (100%) of our graduates are eligible to enroll in a Cal State or UC school, as they successfully completed the A-G requirements for admission. Despite the barriers of COVID, 79% of our Class of 2021 matriculated to college, compared to only 46% of students from similar schools nationwide.
