Returning students will be required to read and sign the Returning Student Acknowledgment Form which is linked here for your review.

In the Fall 2010 term, a new academic success program will be piloted in the Anaheim High School Lab for new and returning diploma students. New and returning students will be required to attend the lab a MINIMUM of 6 hours per week. This new structure will help students complete their units at a faster rate, and allow for seats to become available for new students.

Stay tuned as there is more information forthcoming.
