Principal’s Message: Edison does it again! We were just awarded the title of a California Distinguished School for the third time! This great honor is a testament to the excellence that is Edison High School. As a Three A’s School, we continue to strive for excellence in Academics, Arts and Athletics. Our highly qualified staff, supportive parents and community, and our dedicated students make up the great team that continues to raise the bar. We thank you for your partnership in this vision. We are proud that on signing day – sixteen of the Charger athletes signed with prestigious colleges and universities. Our all-school musical, Suessical the Musical, was a huge success. The sophomores took the High School Exit Exams on March 12th and 13th. Now we are preparing for AP exams and STAR testing – just around the corner. Yes – everyone is busy! As a staff we continue to focus on pushing our students to be “college and career ready” with rigorous and relevant curriculum when they graduate. In light of

this challenge, we have implemented many support systems to help your child – Saturday Scholars, math tutoring center, English lunch tutoring and, of course, our teachers are tutoring Tuesday thru Friday at 8:00 in their classrooms. Make tutorial a “mandatorial” for your student. As a special reminder - our juniors need to take the free EAP (Early Assessment Program) test included in the Spring STAR testing to help them plan for college. If students score high enough on the EAP it will save families money in required California State University remediation classes. Our staff believes that every student can learn but we are also very aware that students learn at different speeds and in different ways. Please take advantage of all of the services offered by Edison High School. We are proud to be your partners! Dr. D’liese Melendrez Proud to be a Charger!
