Principal's Message

Welcome to San Jose High School and the 2012-2013 school year. I am looking forward to another year of pride, growth and community involvement.

We have much to be proud of at San Jose High:
  • We continue to make academic gains as evidenced by standardized assessments, IB exams, college entrance exams and post-secondary success as reported back to us by recent graduates.
  • The community is actively involved in our school in the form of School Site Council, The Bulldog Foundation and the 150th Celebration Planning Committee to name a few.
  • Our campus continues to be recognized for its safety and cleanliness.
  • Enrollment was up for the second year in a row.
  • Our teachers have the opportunity to collaborate with one another in order to provide better instruction for our students. The collaborative efforts also included formal articulation with Burnett Middle School.

As we begin the new school year, we have several goals we would like to accomplish. We want to continue to refine our school wide collaboration efforts, including strengthening our connection to both Burnett Middle School and Horace Mann Elementary (the other two schools that are part of the IB strand). We want to support district lead initiatives including the rollout of the Common Core Standards. We want to facilitate a successful IB authorization visit. And finally, we want to continue to be a place where our students feel respected and encouraged to learn.

As if our goals were not enough, San Jose High School will also be celebrating its 150th Anniversary. We are extremely proud to be the second oldest high school in the state of California. To be able to serve our community by providing a quality public education for this long is a huge accomplishment. We have a full year of celebrations planned. For more information, please visit the official website.

Again, welcome to San Jose High School – 150 years old – rich in tradition and full of opportunities.
