A Message From Our Leadership

Dear WAHS Community,

Welcome back, Panther families! As your Interim Principal, it is my honor to open the 2026–27 school year by sharing what our students accomplished last year, and it is a story worth telling.

Wallis Annenberg High School posted the strongest academic results in the history of The Accelerated Schools network. On the California School Dashboard, WAHS earned Blue in English Language Arts, the highest rating the state awards. Our students grew more than 60 points on the state assessment (CAASPP), and the average WAHS student now performs above grade-level standard in ELA. In Mathematics, we earned Green, with our students gaining nearly 44 points. In both subjects, the state classified our growth as “Increased Significantly.”

Beyond the classroom, our community grew stronger too. From WAHSlandia to our holiday events, families showed up all year and told us in our surveys they feel safe and seen at our schools. This year, our network also adopted four official Core Values, with our own students designing the icons that represent them.

We enter this new year proud and determined. Our commitment to you is simple: we will keep building on what worked, stay honest about where we can be better, and bring the same energy to every classroom, every semester, for every student. Last year proved what our students are capable of. This year is about going further, together.

Thank you for trusting us with your students. I am excited to lead the WAHS community forward and look forward to sharing this journey with our Panther families and staff.

With Panther Pride,
