MR. CRIS OSEGUERA, PRINCIPAL

Welcome to Hamilton High School!

Our goal at Hamilton High is to create an environment that provides students with access to a challenging and rewarding school experience, which includes quality academics and vocational, visual, and performing arts as well as extracurricular programs.  In doing so, we believe all students will be prepared for the world beyond secondary education.

Thanks to a student-oriented staff and a supportive community, our students are provided with opportunities to take positive risks, learn more about themselves and others, and experience success or failure while having a safety net of caring adults to guide them through these four years.

While we recognize that we are an academic institution, we strive to create a family atmosphere that exists on a basis of strong personal relationships among all stakeholders: students, parents, staff, and our community.  In many ways, we are the hub of our community- we carry a tremendous responsibility to maintain academic and extracurricular programs marked by excellence.

We have made significant progress in aligning curriculum, assessing student achievement, improving test scores and providing interventions to students who are struggling. Just as prominently, we have been effective and dedicated to fostering positive rapport with our students and families.  Recently, we were notified of being accredited by WASC for a six-year term through 2028, the highest level of accreditation and a validation of our programs, our diploma, and our school!

Thanks to our highly committed staff, we are confident that we will continue to improve in the areas we can control- taking care of our students, improving classroom instructional practices, and improving student achievement.

Since its founding in 1917, Hamilton High has been a school where tradition is honored, innovation is valued, and excellence is a hallmark!

I am privileged to serve Hamilton High and the Greater Hamilton Commmunity.
