Standards/Policies

It is an expectation of the Poway Unified School District that upon graduation from high school, students will be prepared to pursue a wide variety of reasonable options including admission to college.  Rancho Bernardo High School students are expected to successfully complete a course of study that prepares them to meet the “a-g” application requirements of the CSU/UC systems, and that also prepares them for the world of work and for making a lifetime of informed decisions.
 
Additionally, students will be offered opportunities to participate in a wide variety of extra-and co–curricular activities that help to produce balanced and productive adults.

 

Students are expected to come to school ready to learn and participate in activities. The conduct of a student should not interfere with the educational rights of others.

 

It is the intent of Rancho Bernardo High School and the Governing Board that district discipline policies and regulations be enforced consistently and fairly without regard to race, creed, color or sex.
