Please join us to celebrate Mr. Bellante's retirement on June 10th from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in our schoolhouse's courtyard. All current students, alumni, and parents are welcome. Thanks.

Serra Staff

As the Winter season fades and the days grow longer and warmer we are reminded of the ongoing changes occurring at our schoolhouse every day. We smile as we are reminded of the young adult that, when coached or corrected, responds positively and appropriately, making the adjustments, rather than responding inappropriately.  We celebrate the budding strengths and skill sets our developing youngsters demonstrate and share.  The chill of Winter is being replaced by the warmth of smiles and the authentic realization by our students, and their parents and caregivers, that they, the ones that had been given up on and had given up on themselves, can share in the rewards of learning and community.

We are the Team that is committed to helping support learning, personal growth, and better choices. We welcome you to share our schoolhouse.

Best,

Rich Bellante, Serra Principal

Last Friday was our 2nd Quarter Graduation, we congratulate all the graduates and hope to see them in the June 11 Commencement Ceremony! Here are some pics of that day!

Congratulations to our school Counselor Mrs. Shannon Halbert for winning "Teacher of the Year". Mrs. Halbert is  a key component of Serra, she is always willing to help students and staff providing guidance and advice, she is kind and really cares about others. We are lucky to have her here! Congrats Mrs. Halbert!  

The Yearbook Staff is busy working on Serra’s 2012-2013 Yearbook.  Get ready for one of Serra’s most unique yearbooks to date.  The theme of “Showing our Colors” highlights our diverse population.  We are not simply students.  We are also artists, poets, musicians, athletes, parents, writers, and leaders.  Most of all we are family.  We are proud of our diverse family of students who bring their ideas, energy, and creativity to Serra every day.  Our yearbook will feature every student and all of our school-wide events, from our annual pumpkin pie eating contest, to the graduations we celebrate each quarter.  We will resume sales next week during lunchtime.  Yearbooks are currently $15 (cash or check are accepted).  Is your son or daughter graduating this year?  Why not make the yearbook even more special by purchasing a “Senior Page.”  It consists of a half page with photos and a message you send in to our staff.  We will design your page and send you a copy of the proof for your approval.  The cost is only $5. We will also have a display table for you to purchase yearbooks at our next graduation on Friday, February 1^st. 

Serra Community:

The last couple of days we were visited by a team of educators assessing us for model continuation high school.Our dedicated teachers and staff are happy to announce we have been awarded the prestigious title of “Model Continuation High School” for providing our students with “exemplary opportunities for Continuation High School students.” Serra was noted for our “innovative programs [that] demonstrate an enduring commitment to provide young people with the educational options and support services they need to successfully complete high school.” 

Thank you.

It is so gratifying to be able to offer such a fine school program! Serra is instructionally sound and also provides a smaller learning environment for students. Our class size averages 20 and the resulting level of engagement and accountability provides a rich and textured learning experience for all. Our enrollment hovers at 200 and  having students from the entire CUSD  enhances our diversity and sensitivity to a multitude of learning styles, interests, and needs. Our mission is to serve our students and  families with a cohesive and positive educational experience.

We are an accredited high school, recently earning a full 6 year term of accreditation. We are a small school with a BIG heart! Please feel free to contact us to learn more about our program.

Best,

Rich Bellante, Principal
