Dear Families and Community Members, Gahr High School, a California Distinguished School, has clearly established as the focus of our educational programs that “All Students Can and Will Learn.” We are proud to have created an educational setting of academic excellence based on high expectations and challenging academic programs. The Gahr staff is committed to providing a personalized education to meet the goals and interests of our students. Emphasis is placed on a rigorous and challenging college preparatory curriculum. With over 20 Advanced Placement and 18 Honors classes, students are well prepared to enter post-secondary institutions or pursue career opportunities of their choice. Our stimulating learning environment and positive school climate and culture have resulted in outstanding achievement as indicated by our standardized test scores and the highly successful pass rate of our students on the California High School Exit Exam. In addition, Gahr offers numerous support programs to ensure that students experience positive social and emotional development. The rich tapestry of an ethnically and culturally diverse student population serves to prepare students for integration into the global society as responsible world citizens. A comprehensive staff development plan has been implemented to enable staff members to enhance their professional practice. “Best instructional practices” are observable in classrooms, with teachers integrating technology and other resources into their curriculum to meet the needs of each and every student. Through several partnerships that exist with local post-secondary institutions, businesses, and community organizations our staff and students continue to enrich their learning experiences beyond the classroom. Gahr High School equips students with the skills necessary for a rewarding high school experience and offers opportunities for them to pursue post-secondary educational and career goals. Our state-of-the-art College and Career Center assists students in developing electronic college and career portfolios to assist students in selecting post-secondary experiences that are a match for the individual skills, abilities and interests they possess. Our belief that all students “Can and Will Learn” is demonstrated in virtually every aspect of our programs as we continue our tradition of setting high expectations and demonstrating excellence. Sincerely, Mrs. Gina Zietlow |
