What is a Continuation School?
Del Amigo High School is the continuation school for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. Continuation education is a high school diploma program for students, 16-18 years of age, whose needs are not met in the comprehensive high school setting. In an alternative setting that offers more flexibility, students benefit from smaller classes, shorter schedules, student-centered curriculum, increased counseling services, and individualized options for earning credits. Young people who have not functioned well in a large traditional setting often find themselves succeeding, earning credits, and developing feelings of self-worth, personal responsibility, and community identity. These students can choose to graduate from Del Amigo, return to their residence school, transition to an adult education diploma program, or to study and pass the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) or the General Education Development Test (GED).
Our principal, Lucy Daggett, invites visits and telephone calls from parents who are considering our school as an option for their son or daughter. Please feel free to contact her.
