About Our School
Dear Eagles,
I am honored to serve as Principal of Alta Vista High School and welcome your student to one of our programs. Alta Vista offers various configurations to serve our student's diverse needs. Throughout all our programs, students will have the opportunity to work with staff that genuinely cares about their academic success and their post secondary ambitions. We offer our traditional Independent Studies for Math, English, Science, History and various electives. Each student works both independently and is mentored by a teacher. In addition we also have a Middle College option where students are able to take classes at Santa Barbara City College. Our staff meets with students to bridge the transition and offer guidance. Our Quetzal program serves students that have recently been released from the juvenile justice system, have been expelled or have had attendance issues. Our experienced staff along with paraeducators and various support staff is able to help these students transition back to their school, meet the requirements for a high school diploma and achieve academic success. Finally, our Flex option is available for students that need a more individualized schedule that meets their unique needs.
Alta Vista is varied and unique but most importantly we have options to accomodate all our students' needs. We offer students the oppoortunity to fulfill all their graduation requirements in a small supportive environment. Our support staff is readily available and also monitors our student's post secondary plans.
We welcome you to our Eagle family.
Sincerely,
Sonia Amaral
Principal-Alta Vista
