After completing my first year as the Principal at Cerritos High School, I have to admit-- I had an absolute blast! Quite frankly, it’ll be quite a challenge for all of us at CHS to top last year’s accomplishments: the Regiment of Gold’s State Band Championship, our Model United Nations National Ranking, National Titles for our Cheer and Dance Drill Teams, CIF titles for our Boys’ and Girls’ Swim Teams, and Cerritos High School being named a Gold Ribbon School! Most memorable for me, though, will be my daily interactions with the most considerate, helpful, and caring students I have ever encountered. Indeed, Cerritos High School is a special place where kindness and respectfulness permeate the entire campus. It’s something that we’ve identified as The Cerritos Way. Still, while last year was good, I’m convinced that the upcoming 201516 school year will be just as good…if not better! Cerritos High School takes pride in educating the “whole child”. In addition to our rigorous curricula, CHS promotes a “Character Counts” program to enhance students’ growth in personal character. Under the direction of our ASB’s “Commissioner of Character”, CHS proactively instructs the six pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. These six pillars are the true foundation of the Cerritos Way. At Cerritos High School, we know that a strong partnership between home and school will assuredly propel our students to be the best that they can be—academically and socially. Please use this Student Handbook as a resource to become familiar with all of the CHS rules and procedures to help ensure a successful and productive school year for everyone. In closing, I want to remind everyone how fortunate we are to be able to call CHS our “home”. That being said, let’s all STRIVE (Students Taking Responsibility in Valuing Education) to be at this great place on time, every day! Your daily, prompt attendance will improve your academic success, build good habits for your future college and career experience, and add revenue to our school budget. As for the 2015-16 school year, I am certain we will all strive to create another great year of exceptional Academics, Activities, Arts, and Athletics! Because it is….The Cerritos Way! Let’s Go Dons! Pat Walker Principal

About the SARC
2014-15 Student Enrollment by Group
By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school at (562) 926-5566 or the district office. 2014-15 Student Enrollment by Grade Level Grade Level

C. Engagement State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3): • Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each schoolsite.

State Priority: School Climate The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6): • Pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates; and other local measures on the sense of safety. School Safety Plan Cerritos High School provides a safe, clean environment for students, staff and volunteers. The school, in consultation with the Los Angeles County Office of Education and ABCUSD Child Welfare Office personnel, has developed a comprehensive Safe School Plan. The safety plan provides students and staff with procedures ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. The plan includes: • Child abuse reporting procedures • Disaster procedures: routing and emergency • Notification to teachers of suspensions involving possible safety concerns. • Sexual harassment policy • Provision of a school-wide dress code • Safe and orderly school environment • School rules and procedures The school evaluates and updates the Safe School Plan yearly to reflect the changes in staff, facility, and recommended policy and procedure changes.

Professional Development provided for Teachers Our teachers actively seek opportunities for professional growth to provide effective instruction with the focus on student learning. Staff development is based on the assessed needs of the school personnel.. Staff members work collaboratively to determine the school's needs and take direction from District and State requirements when establishing professional development goals for the school year. At CHS, every Wednesday is a "Professional Learning Wednesday". Teachers and Administrators meet--by department or as an entire staff--to participate in professional learning opportunities. School wide training focus areas include transitions to the Common Core State Standards, Smarter Balanced Assessments, technology, School Safety, English Language Development, and using data to drive instruction. Staff members build teaching skills and concepts by participating conferences and workshops throughout the year and by sharing their experiences and knowledge with colleagues. The District offers support to school sites for professional development activities. Transitioning to the Common Core Standards and assessments are also the focus of our district wide professional development.

Career Technical Education Programs The ABC Unified School District’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes provide students the opportunity to become productive citizens in our ever increasing technology-rich world. Students receive training in classes designed to give them the knowledge, skills, and background that will prepare them to compete in fields where proficiency in technology is the main criteria for employment. CTE classes’ integration of core academic standards (Math and English) allows for the application of them into the curricular content of technology courses. Additionally; their focus is not only on college-bound students but also for those who are entering vocational fields upon graduation from high school. Classes are designed with the input of teachers, business partners, and post-secondary schools to create a curriculum that will provide a pathway to technology-based employment. In ABC, the goal for Career Technical Education classes is to be integrated and aligned with our middle and high school students’ coursework. CTE courses are evaluated based upon the following criteria: number of students enrolling in them, completion of coursework, and the grades earned by those completing the classes. Another goal of CTE classes--along with preparing students for future employment--is to increase student engagement, reduce high school drop-out rates, and allow more students to participate in post-secondary education.
