Message from the Assistant Principal


Dear Parents and Students,

This is my first year as Coast High School’s Assistant Principal. I
am excited to be part of a program that offers students an opportunity to be successful. Achieving your goal at Coast requires self-discipline and personal accountability. Last June, 71 Seniors accepted those responsibilities and received their diplomas at graduation. I am confident our caring CHS staff will help you realize your goal of earning “TWO CREDITS PER WEEK!”

 Student Advisory Committee

Gathering input from students is essential to maintaining a quality educational environment. Please contact me if you are interested in serving on this committee.

Have you passed the CAHSEE?

We can help! Talk with your Guidance Counselor or Specialist for testing dates and information about preparation courses offered at Coast.

Are you thinking about transferring to Coast? Throughout the year we receive inquiries from parents wondering if our program will benefit their students. A profile for successful students is difficult to create because our students are extremely diverse academically, socially, and personally. However, they do share several characteristics. They are goal oriented, self-reliant, motivated, competent readers/writers, adept at managing their time and employed or active in structured social activities.

If you are considering a transfer to CHS, you must discuss it first with an administrator at your student’s high school. The administrators will discuss the pros and cons of Independent Study with you. I encourage you to contact me by telephone or e-mail with any specific questions.

Stay in touch!
