Hoover Highlights


WASC Visit

This week, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) committee, visited Hoover High School. WASC is an organization responsible for accrediting schools and ensuring they meet high educational standards. Accreditation is a process that evaluates whether a school provides quality education, has qualified teachers, and offers a strong curriculum that supports student learning.


We loved having the the WASC committee on our Hoover campus. Our students and Ms. Suri put together an amazing video to welcome the team. Click below to view the video!

Check Enrollment & Downloading Documents in Q

Summer School 2025 - Check Your Enrollment!ย Did you know? If you earn an โ€œFโ€ grade in a graduation requirement class, counselors automatically enroll you in summer to help you stay on track for graduation. In addition, students who are currently enrolled in ELD Emerging are also automatically enrolled in summer school either in an ELD or English class. Our goal is to ensure you earn your high school diploma and graduate with your class! To check your summer school schedule, log in to yourย Student or Parent Portal. Follow the instructions on the flyer below.


Also, if you signed up for summer school to advance in history or science, open up an elective, or to retake a class where you earned a โ€œDโ€ grade to stay A-G eligible, you can also view your course request. How to check your summer school enrollment? Please see the flyer below for instructions.

Educational Opportunity - Counselor Presentations

Every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m during EO time., our counselors deliver engaging, school-wide presentations designed to inform and inspire our students. Teachers kick off their 1st period classes by logging into Google Meets and projecting the presentation for students to see.


During these sessions, counselors cover a variety of topics, including:

  • Updates on upcoming school events
  • Tips for academic success
  • Strategies for social-emotional wellness
  • College and career readiness insights
  • And so much more

We look forward to connecting with our students each week and providing valuable resources to help them thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Click below to view last week's presentation.
