It is a basic aid district with an annual operating budget of approximately $15 million. The District is committed to quality education, providing modern facilities and a wide variety of academic and co-curricular offerings. The District has an excellent staff of teachers, administrators and classified personnel - all of whom are very student-oriented. There is strong parent and community support. Bret Harte Union High School firmly believes that there must be involvement between the school, the district staff, parents and community members. Only by working together can a strong educational program be created which enables students to look forward to the challenge of the future. Students must be prepared intellectually, technically, and socially for the world of work, advanced vocational training, and/or higher education.
