About Us

Welcome to Prospect High School!

At Prospect High School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and academically rigorous environment where every student can thrive. As an alternative education institution, we understand the unique needs of our students and provide tailored academic programs designed to help them succeed.

Our focus is on empowering students by offering equitable access to high-quality education, innovative instructional practices, and targeted interventions aimed at enhancing both academic achievement and personal growth. The goal is to help students overcome challenges, develop critical thinking skills, and prepare for post-secondary success—whether that means college, career, or lifelong learning.

Success here is as simple as A-B-C:

A – Attendance
Consistent attendance is essential for earning credits and achieving academic success. The school day consists of 6 periods, running from 8:10 a.m. to 2:55 p.m. Classes are structured into 12-week trimesters, providing a focused and productive learning environment. A closed campus during lunch ensures student safety and engagement.

B – Behavior
High behavioral standards are upheld to create a respectful and productive atmosphere. Students are expected to follow the California Education Code, with detentions and suspensions issued for violations. Detentions must be served within one week, fostering accountability and prompt resolution.

C – Credits
Students can earn up to 5 credits per class each trimester, with opportunities for variable credit based on the amount and quality of work completed. Those who excel, earning 27.5 credits in a trimester, are recognized on the honor roll and rewarded with a Prospect High School t-shirt, celebrating their hard work and dedication.

We take pride in efforts to close achievement gaps, improve student attendance, and ensure graduation success for every student. Through programs focused on engagement, personalized learning, and real-world skill development, a nurturing yet challenging learning environment is cultivated. Our diverse community of students, faculty, and staff work together to provide every student with the tools and support needed to reach their full potential.
