ABOUT US 

At Alta Vista High School, we’ve been dedicated to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment since 1980. Our focus on collaborative leadership, family involvement, and community engagement ensures that every student receives the support they need to thrive. Serving grades 10 through 12, we offer a wide range of programs and activities designed to engage students and help them reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff works closely with families, providing resources and guidance to ensure success. Our goal is to empower students to graduate while fostering an environment where they can learn, grow, and become active members of the community.

We are a Community School!
 

A community school is a public school that focuses on the needs of the whole child, including their academics, health, and social well-being. Community schools are created by and run with input from the community, and they serve as neighborhood hubs. 

The 4 Pillars of a Community School

 
  1. INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORTS: A dedicated staff member coordinates support programs to address out-of-school learning barriers for students and families. Mental and physical health services support student success.
 
  1. EXPANDED AND ENRICHED LEARNING TIME AND OPPORTUNITIES: Enrichment activities emphasize real-world learning and community problem solving. After-school, weekend, and summer programs provide academic instruction and individualized support.
 
  1. ACTIVE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Schools function as neighborhood hubs. There are educational opportunities for adults, and family members can share their stories and serve as equal partners in promoting student success.
 
  1. COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP AND PRACTICES: Parents, students, teachers, principals, and community partners build a culture of professional learning, collective trust, and shared responsibility through site-based leadership teams and teacher learning communities.
