Principal's Welcome

It is a great honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year at Atwater High School. We look forward to partnering with our students, families, and community to ensure every Falcon has access to meaningful educational opportunities that prepare them for success in college, career, and beyond through our core values of Community, Respect, Innovation, and Imagination.

Atwater High School is committed to raising expectations in the classroom through student engagement, participation, and learning; in attendance and punctuality; and in student involvement and character. We believe that all students can succeed and that education has the power to open doors and shape futures. Learning builds on learning, which is why we encourage students to be here every day, ready to grow.

Our continued focus on MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) ensures that we meet the needs of the whole student by providing support in academics, behavior, and social-emotional learning. Character Strong remains an important part of this work as we continue to strengthen positive and appropriate behaviors, build meaningful relationships, and foster a connected, supportive school culture where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Student involvement continues to be the cornerstone of who we are at Atwater High School. We know that students who are connected to their school are more successful academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether through athletics, performing arts, clubs, leadership, career technical education, academic competitions, or countless other opportunities, we encourage every Falcon to find a place to belong. Involvement builds confidence, creates lifelong friendships, develops leadership, and strengthens the pride that makes Atwater High School such a special place.

At Atwater High School, we are committed to providing every student with the skills, opportunities, and experiences needed to be successful in any path they choose after high school, whether that is college, career, military service, or entering the workforce. Together, we will continue to cultivate a learning environment where every student is challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

We are Community. Respect. Innovation. Imagination.

We are Falcon Strong.

We are Atwater!
