Principal’s MessageSan Benito High School is located in the city of Hollister in San Benito County. The school first opened its doors to students back in 1875 as a grammar school. Because of its close proximity to the Bay Area and Sili-con Valley in particular, Hollister has rapidly changed from a sleepy farming and ranching town, into a bustling bedroom community of San Jose. Over the last decade, more than 20,000 new residents have moved into the San Benito High School District.
The San Benito High School District Board of Trustees recently approved a policy to align the graduation requirements with the A-G sequence of courses for University of California and California State University admission beginning with the class of 2020. The new graduation requirement adoption includes a College & Career pathway that students may opt into at the beginning of their sophomore year. This pathway allows students to pursue a career pathway through either our Career Technical Education (CTE) or Visual and Performing Arts programs.
In June 2014, San Benito High School District passed the Measure G bond, and this funding is currently be-ing utilized to update classrooms and labs, improve instructional and vocational technology, expand school safety, and for the installation of seismic and communication systems.
The college-bound student will find a total of 21 Honors and Advanced Placement opportunities in all core content areas, as well as in the Visual and Performing Arts. Not only does San Benito High School place a high importance on academic achievement, there is also a wide spectrum of courses which allow students to develop their creative abilities within our CTE and Visual and Performing Arts programs. Career training is extensive with 11 career pathways. There are also extensive opportunities for athletic competition in foot-ball, basketball, golf, volleyball, tennis, wrestling, lacrosse, field hockey and others. Students are assisted in preparing for these contests through our weight training and personal fitness curriculum. Firsthand student leadership experiences are gained through the Link Crew, Circle of Friends and Student Congress, while our Associated Student Body (ASB) program includes an annual mock political convention in the school audito-rium, complete with elected representatives and speeches by candidates.
The highest priority at San Benito High School is student achievement and learning in a school environment which supports this priority, as well as fosters students’ social, physical, and psychological well-being.
District Mission StatementThe mission of San Benito High School
is to educate all students to their highest potential so they will have
the greatest range of personal options upon graduation.
District Vision StatementAs the educational center of our
community, San Benito High School provides a safe, orderly, and supportive
environment which offers challenging and equitable opportunities for all students;
fosters academic achievement of all students while developing vocational and interpersonal skills required for success in a rapidly changing and technological world; instills a strong work ethic and respect for the community effort while
preparing students for active and productive roles in society as adults;
and promotes individual dignity, integrity, and respect for diversity.
School Accountability Report Card
In accordance with state and federal requirements, the School
Accountability Report Card (SARC) is put forth annually by all public schools
as a tool for parents and interested parties to stay informed of the school’s progress,
test scores and achievements.

Parental InvolvementParent involvement is encouraged and welcomed at every opportunity. Each fall during Back-to-School Night, parent and community representatives are elected to the San Benito High School Site Council. Also, an annual survey is mailed to families with details of various volunteer opportunities, such as chap-eroning field trips and dances, assisting with picture day, distributing textbooks, or fundraising. Each year, in-coming eighth graders and their families are invited to an evening of touring the campus, meeting their coun-selors, and visiting informative departmental course and class demonstrations and exhibits in the O’Donnell Gym during Eighth Grade Preview Night. Parents and community members who are interested in helping at the school either in the classroom, at school events or on field trips must complete a volunteer application packet, which is available in the Human Resources Department.
There are also four individual grade-level parent nights presented by the counseling staff with specific in-formational topics for parents of freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors on separate evenings. Each year, parents are formally invited to accompany their student in the prescheduling of their courses for the upcoming school year with their counselor.
An active Migrant Parent Advisory Committee meets six times per year to advise on Migrant program activities and expenditures. The District English Learner Advisory Committee meets eight times per year.
There are numerous booster groups, which may be contacted through the various department leaders (e.g., the athletics director or music teacher). There is also a Graduation Committee which produces the gradua-tion ceremony every year. A staff member is the liaison for this committee and can be reached by contacting the school at (831) 637-5831.
For more information on how to become involved, contact the school at (831) 637-5831 and ask for the prin-cipal’s secretary, Beverly Bettencourt, at extension 172, or send an email to [email protected]. Interested parents may also contact the student activities clerk, Rebecca Doty, at extension 351 or via email at [email protected].
School SafetySan Benito High School’s safety plan has been implemented and is revised annually. The safety plan is presented to the staff at the beginning of each school year. San Benito High School has developed and implemented a detailed and well-organized security plan, which includes a Disaster Preparedness and Civil Defense Plan that is posted in every classroom, as well as crisis-intervention plans.
The school safety plan was last reviewed, updated and discussed with the school faculty in August 2015.

Federal Intervention ProgramSchools and districts receiving Title I funding that fail to meet AYP over two consecutive years in the same content area (English language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator enter into Program Improvement (PI). Each additional year that the district or school(s) do not meet AYP results in advancement to the next level of intervention. The percentage of schools identified for Program Improvement is calculated by taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and dividing it by the total number of Title I schools within the district.
This table displays the 2015-16 Program Improvement status for the school and district. For detailed information about PI identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

California Physical Fitness TestEach spring, all students in grades 5, 7 and 9 are required to participate in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The Fitnessgram® is the designated PFT for students in California public schools put forth by the State Board of Education. The PFT measures six key fitness areas:
1. Aerobic Capacity
2. Body Composition
3. Flexibility
4. Abdominal Strength and Endurance
5. Upper Body Strength and Endurance
6. Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility
Encouraging and assisting students in establishing lifelong habits of regular physical activity is the primary goal of the Fitnessgram. The table shows the percentage of students meeting the fitness standards of being in the “healthy fitness zone” for the most recent testing period. For more detailed information on the California PFT, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/pf.

Adequate Yearly ProgressThe federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires all schools and districts meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. California public schools and districts are required to meet or exceed criteria in the following four target areas:
• Participation rate on statewide assessments in English language arts and mathematics
• Percentage of students scoring proficient on statewide assessments in English language arts and mathematics
• Attendance rates for schools with enrollment in Transitional Kindergarten through grade eight (TK-8)
• Graduation rate for high schools
The table displays whether or not the school, district and state met each of the AYP criteria and made overall AYP for 2014-15. For more information, visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress/Standardized Testing and Reporting Results Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program was eliminated and replaced by a new set of assessments called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).
For the 2015 school year, the CAASSP included a mix of online and paper-pencil assessments. The online component contained the Smarter Balanced English language arts/literacy and mathematics tests. The paper-pencil science assessments of CAASPP included the California Standards Test (CST), California Modified Assessment (CMA) and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). There was also the optional Standards-based Tests in Spanish for reading/language arts.
The CST is a multiple-choice test in science for varying grade levels. The CMA is a modified assessment for students with disabilities who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The CAPA is an alternate assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to take the CST with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations.
For more information on the CAASPP assessments, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca.
CAASPP by Student Group: English Language Arts and MathematicsThe tables on the following page display the information on student achievement at each performance level in English language arts and mathematics for the school by student groups for grade 11.
Levels of achievement include:
• Level 1 = Standard not met
• Level 2 = Standard nearly met
• Level 3 = Standard met
• Level 4 = Standard exceeded
Note: The number of students tested includes students that did not receive a score. However, the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the performance level percentages. The performance level percentages are calculated using students with scores.v Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or fewer, either because the number of students tested
in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.± Information is not available at this time.

California High School Exit Exam ResultsThe California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) is primarily used as a graduation requirement in California. Students are first tested in grade 10 and have multiple chances to retake the test if the student does not pass the first time. The grade 10 results of this exam are also used to determine AYP for high schools as required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. The CAHSEE has two sections: English language arts and mathematics. For the purposes of calculating AYP, three performance levels are set: Advanced, Proficient and Not Proficient. Ô
CAHSEE Grade 10 Results by Student Group: English Language Arts and MathematicsThis table displays the percentage of students, by group, achieving at each performance level in English language arts and mathematics for the most recent testing period.

Admission Requirements for California’s Public UniversitiesUniversity of California: Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college course work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for university-level work. For general admissions requirements, please visit the UC Admissions Information Web page at http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu.
California State University: Eligibility for admission to California State University (CSU) is determined by three factors: 1. specific high school courses, 2. grades in specified courses and test scores, and 3. graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses have local admission-guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For admission, application and fee information, see the CSU Web page at www.calstate.edu/admission/admission.shtml.

“Parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed at every opportunity.”
Career Technical Education ProgramsCareer Technical Education (CTE) is an integral and vital part of the instructional program at San Benito High School. The school’s program focus is on preparing students to think conceptually, communicate effectively and apply skills in real-world contexts. Curriculum and instructional strategies that foster critical-thinking, problem-solving, leadership and academic skills encourage work-readiness skills.
San Benito High School has 11 CTE Pathways. All focus on preparing students for an array of postsecondary opportunities and career. Each pathway maintains its own advisory committee. The following are some of the course sequences for the various programs (classes with an asterisk * are a-g approved):
CTE teachers support core content by focusing on either ELA (English-language arts) or mathematics stan-dards. Students are assigned writing assignments as well as mathematics related to the CTE course. CTE teachers participate in schoolwide initiatives including using strategies for supporting English language learn-ers such as Building Academic Vocabulary.
There is also a Work Ability program in place to help special needs students. Three staff members are fo-cused on the task of providing a smooth transition for 170-plus students into the workforce. This program also provides follow-up service for these students for up to two years after graduation.

Completion of High School Graduation RequirementsThis table displays school, district and California data for the percentages of students in the most recent graduating class who met all state and local graduation requirements for grade 12 completion, including having passed both the English language arts and mathematics portions of the CAHSEE, or received a local waiver or state exemption. The formula for the completion of graduation requirements is the number of grade 12 students who met all graduation requirements, divided by, the number of students enrolled in grade 12 at the time of the Fall Census Day. Therefore, results can include percentages over 100% if students transferred into the school and graduated but were not there at the time of the Fall Census Day enrollment count. For more information, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/hs.
v Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or fewer, either because the number of students tested in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Textbooks and Instructional MaterialsSan Benito High School sets a high priority upon ensuring sufficient and current textbooks, and materials are available to support the school’s instructional program as well as providing students, including English Language Learners, with their own textbooks to use in class and to take home. All core content textbooks and instructional materials used within the school are aligned with the California State Content Standards and Frameworks, as well as the school’s curriculum goals.
Instructional materials are reviewed in coordination with California Department of Education standards and curriculum framework adoption. All textbooks are adopted based on a comparison to state standards; a re-view of content, readability, and absence of cultural and gender stereotypes; and available support materials. A committee consisting of administrators and division members establishes selection criteria based on state standards and reviews instructional materials. The Director of Educational Services makes recommenda-tions to the Board of Trustees for final adoption. New textbook adoptions include Common Core textbooks for Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry courses, as well as Spanish and French. A complete list of textbooks is available upon request from the San Benito High School District Office.

External We are currently adding a new P.E. building attached to the Mattson Gym and a new parking lot and tennis courts in the 400s area in 2016.
School FacilitiesSan Benito High School expends more resources than the average school to keep the grounds and facilities clean, safe and well maintained. A team of 20 full-time maintenance workers, groundskeepers and custodians ensure all facilities are well maintained.
The safety of students and staff is a pri-mary concern of San Benito High School. The school is in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations pertaining to hazard-ous materials and state earthquake stan-dards. The school’s Disaster Prepared-ness Plan includes steps for ensuring student and staff safety during a disaster. Fire and earthquake drills are held twice a year. All teachers are assigned their own classroom.
The district provides campus wide Internet and network access. Each student has been provided a school email address to integrate students in online pedagogical systems like Google Classroom. Technol-ogy and curriculum have been further inte-grated with the purchase of approximately 1,500 Chromebooks for use within every English language arts and mathematics classroom. These steps are a significant move toward reaching the one-to-one computer-to-student goal.
Modernization of the information tech-nology infrastructure will provide the backbone for the continuing integration of technology and curriculum. This summer, Measure G bond funds will be utilized to completely replace the fiber and network infrastructure . The new infrastructure will easily provide service to every computer and smartphone on campus. Additionally, next generation curricular applications like Google Classroom are assured to function at optimal levels. A Voice over IP (VoIP) system will be added, replacing the cur-rent antiquated analog phone system.

Finally, a clock and bell system will be integrated into the network, allowing for greater control and customiza-tion of schedules, as well as providing greater means to provide information to the entire campus in the event of an emergency.
In addition, the district continues to provide Windows-based computer labs for various technology-based courses, such as Multimedia, Yearbook and Computer Applications. Although the district as a whole is moving toward Chromebooks for their portability and ease of use, certain courses require the power and adaptability of full desktop systems.
San Benito High School’s library is stocked with more than 25,000 volumes, including print and videos avail-able for student checkout. The library also contains 37 computers with Microsoft Office, a graphics and mul-timedia suite, and Internet access. Students have access to online databases covering a variety of content areas for research purposes. The library is staffed with two library assistants and is open throughout the entire school day as well as before and after school.
As part of the Measure G bond modernization projects, 64 classrooms received wall-mounted LCD projec-tors and sound systems. Classrooms that have not yet been modernized have freestanding LCD projectors available. Many teachers also have document cameras. Teachers incorporate technology-rich lessons into the curriculum to provide students with a deeper understanding of content, as well as basic computer skills. Students use technology to research information, analyze data, organize information, collaborate and com-municate their knowledge. San Benito High School continues to provide access to grades, assignments and attendance information for both parents and students in the Aeries Parent Portal, as well as the variety of athletic and social events and academic information, which is available on our website.
The current campus of San Benito High School was established in 1909. There has been substantial growth since that year—the campus currently comprises 124 regular classrooms, 13 science labs, a library, 6 com-puter labs, a music room, multipurpose room, auditorium and 15 special education rooms.
Athletic facilities include two gymnasiums; a football stadium; baseball field; two softball fields; and two mul-tipurpose fields used for baseball, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey.
A major modernization and HVAC upgrade was recently completed with Measure G bond funds on the south side of the campus (300s and 400s classrooms), which included new carpet, windows, paint and tackboard. The Mattson Gym received a new skylight, paint, lighting, sound system and a bleacher overhaul. We are currently building a new P.E./Weight Room with multipurpose capacity and a 98-stall parking lot with 7new tennis courts.
Professional DevelopmentStaff members build teaching skills and concepts through participation in coursework, conferences and work-shops throughout the year to enhance their effectiveness in the classroom. The district offers two-and-a-half pre-service staff-development days and one half-day at the beginning of first semester where teachers are of-fered a variety of research-based professional-growth opportunities in curriculum development, instructional strategies, methodologies and using data to drive instruction. Our primary areas of focus are strategies for English learners, engagement strategies and implementation of the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
Teachers and staff are involved in a variety of professional development opportunities throughout the school year as well. These activities contribute to a school environment that supports continual improvement and a belief that all students will succeed.
In order to support this mission, the district institutes a five-day in-service program before the school year begins, specially designed to meet the needs of teachers new to the district. Opportunities are also provided for division chairpersons, support staff and administrative staff to participate in content-area-specific profes-sional development activities.
The district implements a special schedule twice monthly which provides two to three hours per month for content area PLCs (Professional Learning Communities) to collaborate on curriculum maps and analyze common assessments while exploring ways to develop lessons which address content-area standards to meet the needs of all students. Other professional development activities include curriculum development opportunities and peer observation and coaching.
Support staff members attend job-specific professional development activities. Among the classified staff, each department provides appropriate job-specific in-service opportunities. Classified staff meetings allow for professional development for the classified staff in the context of the total school program.
