A National Blue Ribbon School, Bret Harte is a learning community that motivates and supports all students to achieve at the highest levels. With a strong foundation of skills, students learn to formulate and express ideas through writing, speaking, and various media. Our goal is to produce creative and critical thinkers who contribute to our community.
All teachers participate in staff development training to analyze assessment data and develop effective instructional strategies. Bret Harte is a place where kids are loved and where kids love to learn. In partnership with our parent community, a staff of caring and competent professionals provides a structured and sequential program rich in basic and advanced math, literature, science, history, geography, technology, and the arts. Bret Harte Community Club updated our Video Production studio and our Project Lead the Way robotics and engineering lab. Booster Club provides funding and leadership for our clubs and sports programs which provide a real life venue to develop life skills. Maintaining a balance between academic success and social emotional well being is important to our staff and community. Learning the importance of cooperation, honesty, self-confidence, respect and responsibility is part of learning how to have a ‘Bronco Attitude’. We work together to provide life long learning for
all members of our community.
