- Principal, La Cuesta Continuation High
About Our School
Dear Firebird family,
It is my honor and privilege to serve as the principal at La Cuesta. La Cuesta is a unique continuation school as we strive to treat our students as our family. In our small school setting we are able to meet the individualized needs of our student population. We strive to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that focuses on academic excellence, personal responsibility and positive self-worth. All students at our school are assigned a mentor that they meet with every day who monitors their academic progress. Students use our Summit Learning platform that is competency based with benchmarks. Students and staff can then easily see the progression of each student towards completion of a subject.
Students work on graduation requirements with multiple levels of support such as their mentor teacher, a student liaison, an academic counselor, a college and career counselor and a college and career tech. All of our staff is available to ensure that all our students are academically successful. Students can choose to graduate from La Cuesta or their home based traditional school.
I believe all our students are capable of success. It is up to us to provide the tools and support so they can excel in their post secondary journeys.
