Community even to support Livermore Joint Unified School District athletics

Community Day at the Oakland A's

Welcome to Del Valle and Phoenix High Schools.

Housed in the historic ‘Fifth Street School’ building built in 1876 near downtown Livermore, both Del Valle and Phoenix are small, continuation high schools.  Once on separate campuses, the schools have occupied the same building since 2004, sharing staff, students and resources.  Both schools are fully accredited by WASC.

The purpose of Del Valle & Phoenix High Schools is to provide our students with the knowledge, skills and habits of mind needed to be successful in their post-secondary, personal, civic and vocational lives:  A place to learn, grow and thrive. 

As a school community, we believe in the three A’s: 

                                     Attendance + Attitude + Academics = Success!

We enroll up to 180 students in grades 9-12; all students must be at least 16 years old to attend continuation high school. We offer state standards based core curriculum classes like Math, Science, Social Studies and English and we have a strong electives program that includes Digital Music/Composition,Spanish and Spanish for Native Speakers, Student Leadership, Yearbook and Computer Applications.  Additional supports are available to students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and English Learners.  We also have several long standing partnerships with community agencies like AXIS, Horizons and the Hume Center that help us to meet the socio-emotional needs of our students.

We pride ourselves on providing an individualized, small learning environment that supports students to become responsible and capable workers, active community members, resilient individuals, effective communicators and capable thinkers.

District Newsletter in Spanish

This school year, Horizon family counseling has joined with Del Valle Phoenix High School to bring the Youth Outreach Mentoring Program to high school seniors.  As part of the program, community leaders visit the school and discuss their career of choice with 12th grade students.  There are different presenters every month.  On Nov. 30^thOfficer Rich Zogaric of the Livermore Police Department visited Del Valle Phoenix High School to talk about careers in law enforcement.  He spoke about the importance of making good choices, his own career path, and the requirements necessary for the job.  Following a question and answer period with students, he brought in Vertex, his canine partner.  After Vertex gave an impressive demonstration of his detecting skills, he enjoyed a vigorous game of fetch the ball with students.  Bree Early was enthusiastic about the visit “The dog is cute!” she said.  Max Bonde said of Officer Zogaric “He was a good speaker”.  Edward Ward, another senior who is familiar with officer Zogaric from the community, was disappointed about missing the program.  “He’s cool!” he said. 

Upcoming Youth Outreach Mentoring event for January will feature a 911 dispatcher.
