An evening with the Principal Power Point Presentation from Incoming Freshman Parent Evening with the Principal
San Ramon Valley High School (SRVHS) located in Danville, California, has a long-standing tradition of excellence. Since 1910, SRVHS has been committed to providing an education that fosters the intellectual, physical, and social development of each student. Our strong tradition of excellence emanates from our dedicated staff, responsible students, committed parents, and active community partners who contribute to the school's and students' successes. Through a comprehensive system of support programs, we ensure that all students are connected to the school. This is accomplished through a wide array of both academic and extra/co-curricular programs. The instructional goals established for each subject area are clearly tied to the achievement of rigorous content and performance standards and to our Expected School-Wide Learning Results (ESLRs).
As we, at San Ramon Valley High School, move to align our curriculum to state standards and district guidelines, we are implementing Professional Learning Communities. Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) shift the focus from teaching to student learning by asking three essential questions:
- What do we want the students to know?
- How do we know they have learned it?
- What do we do if they don't?
These questions will help our staff focus on the best educational practices for our students. Through consistent collaboration and feedback, students will receive the help they need to master the educational material as well as achieve their highest potential.
San Ramon Valley High School's vision is aligned with the district's vision/mission statement and their objectives. Our vision is to create a community, in a safe and educationally rich environment that prepares each of our students to live a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life in the global and technological world of the 21st century. To that end, we are committed to foster the intellectual, physical and social development of each student: to teach all students how to learn so that intellectual growth may continue throughout life; to model tolerance and respect for self and others in order to promote teamwork and community effort in our multi-cultural society; and to help students link learning to personal visions and goals for self and for society so that they may help to shape the world in which they live.
We prepare all of our students to be successful, whether they are entering the work force directly after graduation or continuing on to institutions of higher learning. Over 97% of our students continue their formal education at two- and four-year colleges. Based on data for the class of 2007, 72% of students enrolled at a four-year college/university, and 25% of students enrolled in a two-year college. The remaining students enlisted in the military or joined the work force.
