Principal's Message

Portrait of Principal Jerome Rucker
Lions, 
Congratulations Alta Loma High School Families. We have made it to March accomplishing so many amazing moments, doing it all together. As we enter the fourth and final quarter of the school year, I encourage every Lion to be courageous and RUN TOWARDS THE ROAR ending the school year strong! 

Alta Loma High School educators have worked diligently to prepare all students for the upcoming CAASPP, CAST and AP exams. The CAASPP is used by the state to measure success in the areas of Math and English, the CAST measures success in science, and both tests measure the overall success of our school. I encourage our juniors and seniors to attend every day of testing and do their best to prove college readiness. 
 
Our CAST/CAASPP will be on block scheduling which is shown below. 

March 16th & 17th ENGLISH (Block 5,6,7)
March 18th & 19th ENGLISH (Block 4,2,1)
March 23rd & 24th ENGLISH, MATH, CAST, CAT (Block 5,6,7)

I want to remind all students and families that our library is open after school for tutoring. Please take advantage of our onsite tutoring and use the Academy period to meet with teachers to get extra help and support. 
Our sports spring season is underway! Lions Baseball, Softball, Boys Volleyball, Golf, Boys and Girls Swim, Boys Tennis, and Track & Field teams are striving for league championships. Our National Champion Varsity Dance will be competing this month to win the championship trophy in back-to-back years. Without a doubt, the Alta Loma Visual and Performing Arts programs are second to none. 
 
Lions this is our moment to shine. Make sure you give your best and work with your teachers and counselors.
 
Please check out our special guidance counseling site for more information.
