I have 2 children currently attending Cal High. The PTA is very involved working hard to address issues and encourage parental involvement. The use of email for inforamtional and emergency annoucements is smart and a great way to use current technologies. Once the renovations are complete, the upgraded campus will benefit the learning and social environment. Teachers and faculty are sincere in thier effort to teach our children and prepare them for young adulthood. Some teachers may have lsot thier passion, but don't taint the great majority of teachers that consciously work hard to relate to the students and teach them well. Unfortunately, in this day and age of short-sighted State funding cuts a public school can't directly compete with the resources private school can demand, but Cal High is focused on the students and teachers are focused on preparing them for the future.
This school has a great learning atmosphere and this is the most welcomi g high school that I have attended four different high schools!
Students seeking ways to develop and express their musical talents will be richly rewarded at Cal High. Ms. Lucerne Mottaz is the Music Instructor, providing consistently challenging, enriching and thoroughly entertaining programs over the years in Jazz, Concert, Chamber and Madrigal Choir, along with Music Theory. Students look forward to her classes, that annually include chorale performance field trips out of state (Boston, Chicago, New York, or Montreal, for example), as well as Winter performances (combining music, dance and drama) and performance engagement at Disneyland's California Adventure stage. Parents and students love to attend the annual, year end Pops Concert in early June. Through the music program, our daughter has also cultivated the friendships of so many talented students. Thanks Ms. Mottaz, Cal High music students and administration for providing us with 3 wonderful, memorable years (and counting) for our daughter!
Cnisder it a larger school than average, but teacher /student ratio good. electives quite good and broad. Core subjects standard but quality teachers make scoring higher than average.
