Welcome, Islander students & families to the Coronado High School 2016-17 school year! I am privileged to serve as principal of Coronado High School, supporting a tradition of excellence and opportunities for our students. I am proud of Coronado High School’s dedicated and inspiring staff, talented and engaged students, and generous and involved families and community members. I am proud to be part of a staff who forges close bonds with students and who are available to them for extra academic help, as well as for support of their extracurricular pursuits and social-emotional needs. We will model, and you will learn, that the relationships established at Coronado High School are enduring.
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for ALL students, and student voice is encouraged and appreciated at CHS. We will continue ongoing dialogues with our student body about identity and inclusion in our school community, and explore new opportunities to include, inspire, and involve ALL Islanders in the life of our campus. Recognizing the social-emotional needs of students who face the pressures of school in a fast-paced, media-rich environment, Coronado High School, with the support of the City of Coronado, is fortunate to provide broad counseling resources, including a full-time Clinical Counselor as part of our school counseling team. Weekly mindfulness activities, "mood" checks, Career Day, Mental Health Awareness activities, and other programs to promote wellness and life balance have become fundamental parts of the culture at CHS.
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Our Coronado schools benefit from the support of a generous and committed community and the Coronado Schools Foundation and PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) in particular. Through funding from CSF and a generous legacy gift from Frances Harpst, CHS is able to offer students STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) experiences, including engineering and robotics, live broadcasting, hands-on labs, visiting artists, and arts projects and installations. Our goal is that each student find and benefit from a “home away from home” on our campus. Please continue to communicate with us about the needs of your child in identifying his or her safe place and passion.
We thank our families and community partners for supporting students in coming to school prepared and with pride, curiosity, and vision for the future. It’s going to be a wonderful year.

Welcome back! Thanks to our generous donors, the Coronado Schools Foundation is returning over $800,000 from last year’s fundraising, with this year’s Site Program Grants totaling $713,000. Ms. Moore and her leadership team are funding teachers’ salaries and programs as follows:
If Coronado High School was located over the bridge or down the strand in Imperial Beach, Ms. Moore and her team would receive $1.4M more ($1,200 per student), simply due to our demographics. That’s where you come in. Without parent support, these programs would not be possible. If you have not already done so this school year, please join Hive 365 in support of our schools. That’s $1/day or $30/month to continue fueling learning opportunities that ignite creativity, discovery and learning. Visit www.csfkids.org to see each school’s site grant as well as to donate online or download the parent giving form. Only 25% of our parents currently donate. Please give what you can. Every donation matters and is appreciated.
