“San Antonio High School - Claremont’s Continuation High School”"
Speaker: Andrea Deligio, Principal
Andrea Deligio and the teaching staff of San Antonio High School will discuss the "other high school in Claremont." They will provide an overview of the role of the school, the students, specific programs and the successes of the school.
As explained in a recent Claremont Courier article, some people think of “continuation schools” as a punishment or even dumping ground for students who have various problems. San Antonio High School is 60 years old and the recipient of numerous academic awards. The school provides alternative ways of learning and one-on-one support for all students.
