About Us:
The staff and students at Point Arena High share a commitment to excellence and take great pride in our many achievements. We are a state recognized Model Leadership site, and were recently noted for having the highest percentage of seniors eligible for admissions into the University of California and the California State University systems in Region 1 (Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma Counties). We were pleased to receive state and federal recognition with an Academic Achievement Award for closing the achievement gap and for large gains in the academic performance of our students. In addition to academics we encourage student participation in a variety of extra-curricular opportunities available at Point Arena and have garnered a 75% student body participation rate.
Our focus remains promoting maximum academic achievement for each and every student. Our purpose is to develop a student's intellectual potential through an innovative, balanced, and challenging curriculum. Our strong academic curriculum is standards based, and our teaching strategies provide a balance of skills and knowledge that prepare students for their future lives. We continue to explore research based educational trends in our efforts to improve our effectiveness with students. We welcome your inquiries, and if you wish to visit the campus or meet a teacher, please call our office for an appointment.
