Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year at La Habra High School (LHHS), a California Distinguished School. We are looking forward to having you join and continue the rich Highlander history and traditions established over the past fifty-seven years. Our school’s mission is to collaboratively prepare our students for high standards in academics, communication, technology, and personal responsibility and character so that they will be successful lifelong learners in a challenging and diverse global economy.

 

To achieve our mission, we offer a wide array of programs and activities that provide every student an opportunity for academic and personal growth. All LHHS students are encouraged to look for the experiences that best match his/her talents and interests. Unique to La Habra High School, we are proud of our specialized programs:

 

                           • Heritage of the Americas – California Golden Bell Award

                           • Marketing and Business Academy (MBA) – California Golden Bell Award

                           • Navy JROTC – Distinguished Unit with Academic Honors Award

                           • Agriculture – Career Technical Education Grant Award Recipient

 

In addition we offer eighteen Advanced Placement courses, numerous performing arts classes in the areas of theater, vocal and instrumental music, a successful Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) program, an exciting Forensic Science curriculum, and strong career/technical choices in Regional Occupational Program (ROP). LHHS is the place where students excel both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities.

 

Our successful athletic programs, extra-curricular, and co-curricular activities provide students with additional opportunities to connect with LHHS. Students best succeed in high school by getting involved, feeling connected, and developing pride in school as well as their community. Involvement makes school meaningful and relevant; this is essential to high student achievement.

 

We encourage parents to get involved in PTA, booster clubs, GRAD Nite, and/or join other committees throughout the coming school year to increase communication and build a stronger partnership with LHHS. Our desire is to be partners in your students’ education.

 

On behalf of our faculty and staff members, we extend a warm welcome to all students and their families and request your continued support of our school.
