Principal's Message

Dear Tiger Community,

It’s a Great Day to be a Tiger! As a former student, teacher, and assistant principal at Wasco Union High School, it is an immense honor for me to now serve as your Principal. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such a dedicated and passionate team, who consistently go above and beyond to provide unwavering support to our students in their academic, social, and emotional growth.

Our collective aim is to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that are indispensable for them to become responsible and productive members of our diverse democratic society. Guided by our district vision of "Believing in Educational Excellence for All," we are committed to ensuring that every single student in our care receives a rigorous curriculum, access to engaging technology, and a safe, student-centered learning environment.

One of the most critical factors contributing to the success of our students is their consistent attendance. As a parent or guardian, your active involvement is essential in fostering the mindset that EVERY DAY counts when it comes to your child being present and ready to learn in school. At Wasco High School, we are dedicated to supporting parents, guardians, and families in understanding the significance of instructional time and regular school attendance. We firmly believe that when students are present in the classroom, they have the greatest opportunity to engage, learn, and grow.

Furthermore, we recognize the invaluable role that family and community support play in our overall success. That is why we wholeheartedly encourage you to become involved through our Tiger Parent Club, School Site Council, or other avenues that suit your preferences. Your active participation and engagement are vital to creating a strong partnership between home and school. We firmly believe that parents and guardians hold the most influential positions in shaping a student's journey towards success. Therefore, I extend a sincere invitation to collaborate with us in your child's education. Together, we can ensure that they receive the guidance, support, and resources they need to excel academically and personally.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and for your ongoing support. By working hand in hand, we can create an environment where every student thrives, achieves their full potential, and prepares for a bright future.

Here's to a remarkable year ahead!

Sincerely,

Rusvel Prado

Principal, Wasco Union High School
