OUR SCHOOL

PALM SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL

ESTABLISHED IN 1938

Palm Springs High School is a four-year comprehensive high school with a diverse student population of 2,100 and over 85 staff members. On a 52 acre site, it is located just 100 miles east of Los Angeles.  The students enjoy a diversity of outdoor activities and intramural sports year-round as the temperature rarely dips  below the sixties. 

Students, in pursuit of academic excel-lence, have the opportunity to partici- pate in an extended assortment of activi-ties designed to encourage the develop-ment of minds, the search for personal discovery, and growth through creative expression. 

Having our students consistently achieve at the highest levels of hon-or on annual examinations has been a product of our instructional program. Yearly, we are home to numerous Nation-al Merit Scholars. 

Since the staff is familiar with the mer-its of advanced planning, we believe that high school is the beginning of a ca-reer. In addition to selecting from elec-tives such as classes designed to introduce students to particular fields, students en- joy the unique opportunity to reach out into the community through a variety of  job-shadowing programs which link the school with the diverse professional re-sources available in this unique location. This program allows students to supple-ment their classroom learning with practi-cal experience and on-site training in all fields ranging from hotel management to the Arts to medicine. Our students flour-ish because they are open to the joys of discovery and are ready to grasp the range of opportunities offered
