GREETINGS SANTA RITA EAGLES!
Santa
Rita High School is an excellent school with an outstanding
student body and faculty. Our
school has received numerous awards for academic and program
excellence. There is
a rich diversity of students and a host of programs in various
areas that provide excellent quality and choices for our students.
The faculty and staff are committed to provide students
outstanding educational opportunities.
Our
faculty and staff are very experienced and provide an excellent
education to our students. Many faculty are involved in furthering their own education
and in receiving training in their respective areas. The central focus of our teachers is teaching and learning.
There is also an emphasis to meet the diverse needs of our
student population. Our Site Council is well organized and stays
up to date with many of our activities at school.
Research has proven that a strong parent support program
improves achievement and the morale of a school.
The Course Description Handbook provides you with information regarding the courses offered and subject content at Santa Rita. Use the handbook as a guide to create a schedule of classes. It is very important that you make wise decisions regarding the content of your schedule. It is our goal at Santa Rita High School that every student pursue a rigorous curriculum. We expect students to graduate with twenty-four credits. During your pursuit of excellence if you fall behind or find that you are not truly prepared for the next level of a course, summer school is a recommended option to support your success.
After
reviewing the handbook, I encourage you and your parents to
carefully consider the direction of your course of studies, review
your short and long-range goals and plan your course schedule.
Feel free to call on your counselor for advice and
guidance. The
registration process is a very important time because it allows
students to plan, have input into and contemplate your academic
progress in school. You
should take every advantage of these opportunities.
I
also want to encourage you to get involved in your school's
academic and extracurricular activities. Students who get involved and participate have demonstrated
better grade point averages, show better attendance records, feel
better about school, contribute to greater school spirit and have
fewer discipline problems.
I
wish you the best and hope you have an excellent year.
GO EAGLES!
Dr. Abel Morado, Principal of Santa Rita High School
