" Paloma Creek High School exists as a fluid and highly responsive educational option for students who are credit deficient, want to accelerate their progress toward graduation work part time, or who desire a more flexible and personalized learning pathway. We recognize that education as a one-size-fits all model is insufficient to meet the learning demands and struggles of today’s youth. Our goal is to use a variety of high tech and low tech resources, along with building strong and caring relationships, to allow students to realize their potential. The whole person approach to learning, coupled with open access to therapeutic care and counseling, allows PCHS students to complete their high school diploma and enter the next phase of their lives prepared for college or career.
We have much to celebrate at Paloma Creek, including our positive school climate, our flexible learning environments, our partnerships with the community, and our culminating senior capstone. All graduates complete their journey by presenting a portfolio of career materials and explain how they have attained the qualities listed in our district’s Graduate Profile. This culminating event is attended by family, friends, and staff, and is an extremely rewarding experience. Many of our students arrive on our doorsteps with high anxiety, low self esteem, and a bleak view of their future. There is no better feedback and measure of success than to see a once struggling student stand before family and teachers, confidently reflecting on their educational experiences and their future.
At Paloma Creek High School, the true magic happens because of a shared understanding among all staff that each student has their own unique circumstances that has brought them to continuation high school. There is a common belief that every student has a uniqueness that must be embraced, encouraged and considered in all decisions that impact the operations of our program."
