MHHS Awarded Prestigious California Distinguished Schools Award

Mountain House High School has recently been awarded the prestigious California Distinguished Schools Award.  This program recognizes outstanding education programs and practices of schools across the state of California.  This award is given every other year to schools who show exceptional student performance for two consecutive school years.  Indicators used to measure our performance included test scores, suspension rates, and graduation rates. 

In a press release, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond stated:  "I would like to commend these schools for fighting for a better future for our students, closing achievement gaps, and improving academic performance.  Thanks to teachers, administrators, classified employees, and parents working together, these schools meet the needs of all of their students, provide high quality educational experiences, and put kids on a pathway to great careers."

Mountain House High School was one of 162 middle and high schools out of the more than 2600 middle and high schools in the state to receive this award.  Together with the successful WASC Accreditation, our recognition as a PLTW Distinguished School, recognition as a Common Sense Media School, our Golden Bell Award for our Early College Pathway, and other recognition we have received, MHHS is proud of the programs and services that we offer to our students.
