Our School

The goal of Whittier High School course of studies is to cultivate responsible citizens who can function in a rapidly changing world. Our program is designed to provide a variety of affective and cognitive experiences. All subject matter is taught in a challenging, highly individualized, family atmosphere while honoring the student’s strengths and personal learning styles. The curriculum will develop student’s perspective regarding the promotion of the value of independent thinking, marketable job skills, problem solving, effective communication, teamwork, interpersonal relations, tolerance, personal integrity, and individual responsibility.

Dear Whittier Families,

We are thrilled to welcome you back for another exciting school year! As we begin this new chapter together, we want to emphasize three key pillars that support student success: attendance, academics, and relationships.

Daily attendance and active participation are essential for academic growth moving towards graduation. We view every day as important but being here and working hard is how we grow towards caring for one another.

At Whittier, we believe that strong relationships — between students, families, and staff — are the heart of a thriving school community. When students feel seen, valued, and connected, they are better equipped to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Let’s work together to make this year one of meaningful learning, consistent engagement, and powerful connection. We can’t wait to see what we will accomplish together.

Here’s to a fantastic school year!

Ms. Jennie Guerrini
